I've never quite heard "death of the author" used in that sense, is that a usage I'm just unfamiliar with? As I usually use/understand it, "death of the author" is "what the author thinks about their work shouldn't define what you think about their work". That their interpretations or their background aren't definitive, and you should feel free to ignore them when interpreting their works.

Something in the vein of "the author's views in a general sense shouldn't define what you think about their work" I've usually heard referred to as "separating art and artist", since it's less about litcrit and more about if you even want to read something in the first place.

No, you have it right. But Death of the Author is rather horribly misused these days. Justifying fanon and at it's worst, condemning creators (thus completely missing the point) based on interpreting as problematic.

i mean, it's not like those two ideas are unrelated, so i can see why people use them kind of interchangeably
