I'm pretty sure Alduin and Akatosh are two separate entities and the game gives us some pretty obvious clues to this topic. Paarthurnax/the Greybeards is a good source for this. "Alduin is Akatosh but at the same time not him"

Think of it like this Akatosh is an actor, this actor has played many different characters. Now Imagine these "characters" are all actually seperate living beings. Alduin is one of Akatosh's seperate "characters".
