No, these are not correct. "Greater" is already a comparative form, and "greatest" is the superlative, so you cannot use "more" with these forms. However, it is correct to say "much greater".

Greater is correct. The frenchified construction with "more" is not exactly wrong, and for some adjectives is it preferred, but in this case it is pretentious and fussy sounding.

What is grammatically correct narrower or more narrow?

Both are grammatically correct, depending on how you prefer your sentence to read. Most two syllable adjectives form two forms of the comparative and superlative. "Narrower" is the germanic-rooted comparative form of the adjective "narrow," while "more narrow" is the French-influenced version. "Narrowest" and "most narrow" are both acceptable superlatives.A few other words that are correct both ways are handsome, clever, and simpler. Some say that "commoner" is an acceptable comparative adjective, but "more common" has become much more, well, common. Prefered forms (like much of English) makes a slow and steady tectonic shift as certain usages fall out of practice.

Is it correct grammar to ask price -how much are they?

No, that is not correct. First of all 'much' is wrong with 'they'. It could have been "How many are they?. But if you have to ask the price of something you could ask- "How much is it for?" or "How much do they cost?" for more than a single item. In an informal way you might ask "How much for them?" or just "How much?"


You have gone to America in 1998 Is this grammatically correct?

Not really, it would be much better to say "You went to America in 1998" because the presence of the date means it was a specific event in the past. I have gone, or you have gone, implies that you went to stay with no intention of returning.

What is it for me is this correct?

Are you asking if the sentence 'What is it for me?' is grammatically correct? If so, the answer is 'no'. Here are some variations on that sentence which are grammatically correct, but of course I don't know if any of them is what you meant to say. 'What is in it for me?' (meaning 'What benefit will I get out of it?') 'What is it about me?' (meaning 'What is it about me that causes certain things to keep happening to me?') (Compare 'What is it with me?') 'What is there for me?' (meaning 'Which of those things are intended for me?' or 'How much of that is intended for me?')
