What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Is crossdressing being a transvestite?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Does the Hamas charter specifically call for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
