A. I want some more water. Is this a comparative sentence ?
B. You should have mixed less water with the paint. Is this a comparative sentence?
If the above sentences are correct what could be the 'than' part like,
He did more carefully than I thought. 'Than' part is 'than I thought'.
Are these sentences correct?
a. I don't want any more rice to eat. And also is it a comparative sentence? Can we say like I don't want any more rice than this? ?
B. Can I get some more rice than this?

Yes, I understand. I want you to tell whether those comparative sentences are correct or not and also what could be in the 'than' part? Like,
A. You should have mixed more water with the paint. It could mean 'you should have mixed more water with the paint than I told you/ than necessary.
A. You should have mixed more water with the paint. It could mean 'you should have mixed more water with the paint than I told you/ than necessary.

I would expect a comparative sentence to include than or as...as, and compare two things.
Mary is better than Tom at tennis.
Jim is as tall as his brother.
He is not as tall as his father.
You could make comparative sentences out of the sentences you have, but I wouldn't call them comparative sentences now.

But all of those sentences above are all grammatically correct, right?

I want some more water. Good.
You should have mixed less water with the paint. Good.
He did more carefully than I thought. I didn't notice this sentence earlier. It does compare the reality with your belief. The sentence itself is a little awkward though.
I don't want any more rice to eat. Good.
Can I get some more rice
