They can be synonyms when used to express the idea of something being in addition to (as they are in Caner's examples), but 'too' has other meanings.
The examples below are from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/too - you can only substitute 'as well' for 'too' in examples 1 and 4.
1. in addition; also; furthermore; moreover: young, clever, and rich too.
2. to an excessive extent or degree; beyond what is desirable, fitting, or right:
too sick to travel.
3. more, as specified, than should be: too near the fire.
4. (used as an affirmative to contradict a negative statement): I am too!
5. extremely; very: She wasn't too pleased with his behaviour.
