Answer 1

As Daniel Hall suggests in his blog, pass a ViewDataDictionary with a TemplateInfo where HtmlFieldPrefix is set to the name of the SimpleModel-property:

 @Html.Partial("_SimplePartial", Model.Simple, new ViewDataDictionary(ViewData)
    {
        TemplateInfo = new System.Web.Mvc.TemplateInfo
        {
            HtmlFieldPrefix = "Simple"
        }
    })
