Knowing and not doing means you know the procedure of doing something but you are not making any effort. And if you are not doing it than you are equal to the one who is ignorant but he is even worse than him because he is a shirker.

They may have the same consequences, so in some way, they are equal. The question is if consequences are the most important part in the equation, or maybe intention (somebody may know and not do out of laziness, or out of personal principles, or because of other knowledge, those aren't equal at all).

yes, knowing and not doing are equal to not knowing because the results are same in both the cases.

Yes. To know but do nothing is sheer ignorance, and it's the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

They are not equal. However, they are equivalent in some sense.

Knowing and not doing is lazy. Doing and not knowing is banging against the wall. Not knowing and not doing is idiot. Knowing and doing is you and me.

No. Knowing but not doing is far more culpable.

I know what is suicide but I am not doing the same. So your view is not correct in my opinion.
