No they usually have different meanings. The preposition "as" means something similar or occurring at the same time. The word "and" can join words as well as clauses and has the meaning "in addition to".

Examples :

"The boy walked up as we were leaving." (same time)

"The boy walked up and we talked to him." (same time, but separate and subsequent action)
