What is the role of 'a lot and much' in my sentences?

Can we use 'adverb' before pronoun?

As we know adverbs are normally used to modify 'other adverbs' , 'verbs', and 'adjectives'. e.g (I'm feeling a lot better today.)

I consider 'a lot and 'much' as adverbs and 'more' as pronoun in the following. are my analysis corect?

I earn a lot more than my sister does.

I can't stand much more of this.

I eat a lot less than I used to.

I have a lot more in common with my friends than my family.
