Hi, there
Would you say "I have the same book THAT he has/does" or "I have the same book AS he has/does"?
As or That? Has or does?
Thank you

All of the sentences seem to be OK.
Regarding the use of 'as' or 'that', both structures "the same ... as" and "the same ... that" are widely used in English. Please see
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/same_1
As for 'has/does', both seem to be fine. However, I believe 'does' would be better. You can say:
"I have the same book as he does." or
"I have GOT the same book as he has."

Hi,
I would say:
"My book is the same as his/hers."
"I have the same book as his/hers"
Other examples:
"I think the same as he/she does", think here corresponds with does, as both are verbs (words of action)
"I bought the same book as he/she did"
"A man is as good as he has to be"

I have as many books as he is.

"I have the same book that he has" seems most correct, though it would probably be said "I have the same book he has." You can also say "does" instead of "has." The use of "does" makes the sentence less formal.
