She is more a worker than a teacher. = She is more suitable as a worker than a teacher.
I am no more mad than you are.= Both you and I are not mad. (correct)

Please note that "mad" can also mean "angry". If that is the intended meaning, then,
"I am no more mad than you are" = "I am not angrier than you are." = "Our anger is the same."

And, yes, today's more common meaning of mad is angry.
