Both "simpler" and "more simple" are grammatically sound.

Simple had an unstressed vowel in ending the second sylable so using the -er patter is acceptible.

More simple is technically sound, but it is unusual with shorter adjectives to use the superlative or comparative with more.

The comparative of English adjectives is formed in -er: simpler. It is also possible, however, to form English comparatives in the French manner, putting the word "more' before the adjective: more simple. Some people think the Frenchified form is better for polysyllabic adjectives of foreign origin, but there is no grammatical reason for it, and it generally sounds stilted.

Which sentence is grammatically correct - Each one of you is a class act or Each one of you are a class act?

"Each one of you is a class act" is correct, because the simple subject "one" requires a singular verb. Despite its proximity to the verb "is", "you" is not any part of a simple subject of this sentence but instead is the object of a preposition in a prepositional phrase in the complete subject. Objects of prepositions functioning grammatically as such are never by themselves the simple subject of a sentence.
