"The most" is commonly used before the superlatives of long adjectives and adverbs ending in ly.

Positive: This is a difficult question.

Comparative: That question is even more difficult.

Superlative: Which is the most difficult question?

Who drove [the] most slowly? ("The" isn't usually needed before the superlatives of adverbs.)

"The more" is far less common than "the most" but it occurs in sentences like this, for example:

"The more I work, the faster my money goes."

This is from an old rock and roll song called Shake, Rattle and Roll.Two comparatives can be used in this way to show that there is a connection between them.
