"более" means "more" and nothing else.
Он более опытен в этой области, чем я: Hi is more experienced in this field than me.
"больше" means "bigger", "larger" and sometimes "more":
Это здание больше, чем соседнее (This building is bigger than the next).
Я знаю гораздо больше, чем мой начальник. (I know much more than my superior).

Also, could someone explain to me what "того же самого" means?

It's "то же самое" ("the same thing") in genitive case.
