"Whom" is not the plural form of the interrogative "who" (as a previous answerer stated), it is the objective form. So it does not matter if you're talking about more than one person or only one person. You should use "whom" when it's acting as an object (direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition), and "who" when it's acting as the subject of a sentence. There's much debate over whether "who" or "whom" should be used as predicate nominative, though traditionally, you would use "who" (this is similar to the debate of whether we should say "It is I" or "It is me", "It is I" is traditionally correct, but more current English speakers say "It is me").
In the example of the independent clause "whom you met", "you" is the subject, "met" is the predicate, and "whom" is the direct object. "Whom" is correct, not "who".

When do you use the work Whom?
Ok - this is quite an easy one to remember. You use 'who' when the people that you are talking about are the object of your sentence and "whom' when they are the subject of your sentence. If you get confused, you can use a simple trick... If you can put HE or SHE in the place of who/whom, then you should use...WHO. Example: Bill, who was the boss of the company. He was the boss of the company. So, WHO is correct. If the sentence only makes sense with HIM or HER, then use WHOM. Example: John, whom she met at school. If you put HE in this type of sentence it looks silly...She met HE at school. So, it must be....She met HIM at school...so use WHOM.
Do you use she met with John and me or she met with John and I?
Correct grammar is "She met with John and me" because singular, "She met with me" makes more sense then "She met with I"

No, "Is he's the guy that I met" is not correct English. The correct phrase would be "Is he the guy whom I met." Using "whom" is more formal and grammatically correct when referring to the object of a sentence.
