"want sb to do something" is about the same as "want sb doing something."
The -ing form is more informal. It also usually applies to a longer time period. You will also usually hear it in the negative form:
"I don't want anybody in the class talking during the test."
Also, some purists debate that "to do" is absolutely correct, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
