One of us is going to the store. However, which one of us is going to pay the bill?

One is the subject and is singular, so the verb has to be singular for the two to be in agreement. So, the second sentence has subject/verb agreement.
It's been a long time since I read a grammar book, and I don't worry about this stuff anymore, but here's how I see the sentence:
1. One - Is the subject.
2. of us - Is a prepositional phrase modifying One
3. is - Is the verb
3a. is going - Might be a verbal phrase (acting as the verb)
4. going - Might be a gerund acting as the supplement
5. to the store - Is a prepositional phrase modifying either the gerund going or the verbal phrase is going.
Hope this helps. I think there's a site called EnglishPage.com that might be helpful to you.

regrettably, purely B seems staggering... C. If 'Neither' is the challenge, it takes a novel verb, yet thus the challenge includes Carol/her toddlers. Neither Carol nor her toddlers ARE coming... "even as a novel and plural challenge are linked by both/or or neither/nor, placed the plural challenge very last and use a plural verb." D. is obtrusive (a lot of human beings is plural, IS might want to be ARE) A. is obtrusive, the SOUND (of the waves) IS drowning out... ......& the reason B is genuine = " when I is between both matters linked by both/or or neither/nor, placed it 2d and stick with it with the singular verb am."

One of us is going to the store.
("of us" is not part of the subject, it is a prepositional phrase).
Think of it as "One is going to the store"

The second, but, it would be better just to say, "I am going to the store."

the one where the verb and the present participle BOTH agree with the subject (One of us) ie. single subject
