Just adding my 2 cents here. Experts please verify whether I got everything correct.
No.
IMO this sentence is incorrect. In this case the meaning gets distorted. Twice as many Americans buy pizza as Indians ( Means - The number of Americans buying pizza is twice the number of Indian (buying pizza) . Now who is modifying Indians . So those Indians buy salad? So ultimately it means " The number of Americans buying pizza is twice the number of Indian, who also buy salad, buying pizza
No.
First, "who" is used to denote humans and "that" is used to denote anything else. So unless the intention is to compare Americans with something other humans, the use of "that" is wrong.
Second, we again face the same problem as discussed in the first sentence - The meaning gets distorted.

Yes
AshwinGS
No. Means - Americans are 2 times more likely than pizza to buy chocolate. Pizza cannot buy chocolate - illogical
