1.I like tea, as does he/as he does.
2.I like tea, as does my father/as my father does.
Do they mean the same? That we both like tea. The examples are mine.
 
The general meaning is the same between the two options for each sentence, yes.

The two sentences don't necessarily mean the same since we don't know who 'he' is in the first one without additional context.
 
"I play football as my father does".
Can this mean that we play in simiilar styles?
 
Possibly, but I'd take it to just mean you both play.

If you want the latter, then use something less ambiguous like "I play football the same way my father does."
