2 - I love you better than he.
Use the form that would make sense in the first part of the sentence. You would use "I am taller", not "Me am taller", so
He is taller than I [am tall].
In the second case, the distinction is
I love you better than [I love] him.
(That is, you are saying who you love better.)
vs
I love you better than he [loves you].
(You are saying who loves the listener better.)
(My original answer was somewhat biased towards my own preference. Edited to reflect the bigger picture).
There is a debate about which one is correct, but in practice both are in use. "He is taller than me" is somewhat more common in casual writing and speech. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative.
A probably undisputed alternative is "he is taller than I am". In this case "I am" is an object clause, in which "I" is the subject, so it takes the subjective form.
Regarding the two forms of "I love you better": there could be two meanings as the other answer suggests. I will use "more than" instead of "better than", since it is more common:
I love you more than him
Means "more than I love him".
I love you more than he does
Means "more than he loves you".
"More than he" vs. "more than him" is a big debate among language enthusiasts. For a long discussion on this topic, see http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/than-i-versus-than-me?page=1
