How do we distinguish the two uses of "tanto...como"

This is probably an easy question, but is there a simple way to tell when "tanto...como" means "both" and when it means "the same as"? Thanks.

subjunctive with the same subject

Hola Inma,

Ayer me cobraron de más en ese bar, _conque_______ dudo mucho que vuelva a ir.

They overcharged me in that bar yesterday, so I very much doubt I will return.

This sentence is from a test a took here. Dudo and vuelva have the same subject, yo. Is there a rule for this? I thought, in order to use the subjunctive, there must be different subjects. Can you, please, explain?

Muchas gracias

Verbs in exercise

Great exercise, it would be even better if the suggested words to check before starting the exercise could be viewed translated directly here without the need to go to extra vocabulary book/web. Thanks

"No seré demasiado atrevida"

Hola,

I still struggle with the whole ser and estar rules but I cannot see why ser is used in this sentence. If it means "I am not (by nature) the kind of person who will take risks" then "ser" would fit, but that is not at all obvious from the sentence. The translation offered was "I will not be too daring" [or something like that] which to me suggests that she was adopting a cautious strategy in the game, to avoid being embarrassed. Hence a temporary / changeable state.

Can you clarify this for me please?

Thanks. John
