That's not the same thing (1)as you doing (2)as you choose without consulting me.

Q1 (1)as is what? what does it mean?

Q2 "you doing" is correct? I think "you are doing" is correct.

Q3 (2)as is what? what does it mean?

Q4 Is "as~as" used  in comparisons  ? like, "They want peace as much as we do."??

Answer

1.  The first “as” is a comparison word.  “Dogs are not the same thing AS cats.”  “Running is not the same AS walking.”
2.  “You doing” is correct here.  The explanation, however, is not easy. 
3.  The second “as” means “in the way that” — paraphrased, “you acting in the way that you choose to act”
4.  Yes, as-adjective-as is a common way to express a comparison.  But here, “as” occurs twice for a different reason, because the second “as” is not a comparison word.

Answer

Q1）"As" could mean "while" or "in the way in which". If the former, the two things are going on at the same time. If the latter, see Q3 below.／Q2）It should be "you are". Maybe the person omitted it by mistake or contracted it as "you're", which sounded like "your". ／Q3）"As" here means "in the way in which someone does something". In other words, it means "just like". ／Q4）Exactly.
