The grammatical functions of this expression are to make comparisons (first definition) and to create a subordinate clause of concession (second definition).

The identification of the exact part of speech of each word in this expression (as, much, as) is irrelevant in my opinion. Nothing about your ability to speak and write English hinges on knowing such trivial matters (on many of which there is no universal agreement anyway). Maybe some other member of the forum will address this issue.
