"Even though" and "even if" have the same basic meaning, but Eliot is correct that they are not interchangeable. "Even though" is used with things that have happened or are currently true; "even if" is used when we are not certain whether or not a future event will happen. Examples:
I'm going jogging now even though it's raining.
I'm going jogging later today even if it's raining.

Your "X=Y" examples are all correct.
In your first sentence, it should be something like:
"If I had been permitted to choose my undergraduate subject myself, I wouldn't have chosen law" (third conditional form).
