The difference between the password being simple and the answer being simple is the fact that the answer, is well an answer to a question. The password has endless possibilities of simple answers.
Not that my users are the same as yours, but we did a survey to find out if our users prefer to make up their own security question or have a list of choices to choose from and they overwhelmingly wanted the list to choose from. I can only guess from the responses that they felt thinking up a good username and password was enough, they didn't want to have to think up a security question as well. You are already placing registration between them and their goal, limit how much thinking they have to do. As for the re-enter password, I believe users have grown accustomed to seeing two fields when they are creating a new password and one password field when they are giving you their existing password (or signing in). But I wouldn't discourage you, test it out and see what happens. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
