If I train with less blood this summer then stop donating during the season will it be equivalent to blood doping or training at altitude?

This.
No. Your training will suffer from loss of red blood cells and you won't be able to do harder workouts right after the donation.
It will only hurt your performance
Doping is also training with fewer RbCs and racing with more. Isn’t this the same concept?
Sure. Maybe you should cut off a limb too.
Only if you inject it back in. But that’s blood doping and it is illegal.
