plus que or plus de

I'm confused when to use 'plus que' versus 'plus de'

From the text we see 'est plus que compensé par' and then 'pendant plus de quelques secondes'.

How do you know which to use?

Nous promener

Nous aimons nous promener sur l'avenue.

What does the second "nous" in the sentence mean?Is it like "I like 'our walking' on the avenue"?
Can I say this way then? Nous aimons que nous promenons sur l'avenue.

Thanks.

Lack of pas in written languageI have quite often noticed that pas or other negative word is missing in written French, in newspapers and in books. I don't have an example at hand, though. Why is this and when can it happen?
