If $A$ and $B$ are compact subsets of $\mathbb{R ^ n}$, is then $ A × B $ compact? I think it is because it's then closed and bounded because A and B are closed and bounded?

Your argument is correct.

More generally, of $X$ and $Y$ are any compact topological spaces, $X\times Y$ is compact too, by Tychonoff's theorem.
