Any Instructor can instruct and give instruction in aerobatics , and yes, both must be wearing approved parachutes, but every one receiving instructions must have fully functional controls. That means no more then one passenger. read the regs.
I think you combined and confused the regulations for spins without parachutes and regulations for aerobatics with passengers.
Your thinking about §91.307(c) and §91.307(d)(1), take a took at §91.303.
§91.303 — Aerobatic flight.
No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight—
(a) Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement;
(b) Over an open air assembly of persons;
(c) Within the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an airport;
(d) Within 4 nautical miles of the center line of any Federal airway;
(e) Below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface; or
(f) When flight visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.

It says nothing about receiving flight instruction, having controls, or having passengers.
read the regs.
