Hi, everybody!
My question is about Throne Room. If i place first double Throne , next action is the only one i can play twice x 2, or two actions may be played provided they cannot be doubled?

The key thing to remember is that nothing is "doubled." Instead, cards are "played twice." Playing a Throne Room twice would not allow you to play another card four times. The above way of organizing it is pretty good.

The double throne room means you play throne room twice. In other words, it's like playing two throne rooms. So, you play an action card from your hand twice. Then, you play another action card from your hand twice. At this point, you'll have played two throne rooms and two other action cards (and each of the other action cards was played twice).

That was all played with 1 Action. No other action is needed.

Throne Room requires you to play an Action card twice. So, using the above notation,
Throne Room
+ Action 1
+ Action 1
This whole sequence only uses 1 Action (the one used to play Throne Room) - this is clarified in the Kingdom Card Descriptions if you are unsure about whether the wording on Throne Room means this. If "Action1" is a Throne Room then you get the above sequences - all the cards marked with a + are played because Throne Room tells you to, not because you are using one of your available Actions (from start of turn or + Action on cards) to do so.

It's all correct, but they don't have to play the Smithy with the second occurrence of the second Throne Room unless they have no other actions. If they drew any actions in the 4 cards drawn from Witch, they could play one of those instead, such as a 2nd Witch for 4 Curses total instead of just 2.

Which is exactly why with that starting hand you should try playing throne throne smithy as your opening. If you don't draw say a lab you can still play the witch twice using the second throne and with enough thrones in your deck (you must have a few to get 2 on a turn) you will probably be playing throne/witch together even if you leave it until later in your turn.
As others have said if you throne room a throne room then the second throne room is played twice. The first instance of it being played is with one action card and the second instance is with a second action card.

You only need 2 Throne Rooms to get 2 in a single 5-card hand. There is no guarantee that there are others in the deck.
But yes, I generally agree with you. It would usually be the better option to play Smithy first, unless there are only 2 Throne Rooms and no +action cards and you really want to try to squeeze in 2 Witches or a Witch and some other attack that might be in the top 4 cards of your deck.

No, it depends on what else is in your deck, how many curses are left, etc.
