What does this sentence mean?

"I love Ann, almost as much as Jane."

That

1) Jane loves Ann more than I do. (""I love Ann, almost as much as Jane [does].")

OR That

2) I love Jane more than I love Ann. ("I love Ann, almost as much as Jane."

Without looking at context, is there any way to tell what that sentence actually means?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

No way, even without the comma. Common sense and context must always enter in.
