"Keep you to myself" implies that the speaker wants to keep the person in question for themselves, and does not want to share them with others. It could suggest possessiveness or jealousy. For example, "I'm going to keep you to myself and not share you with anyone else."
"I'm gonna leave you alone" implies that the speaker will no longer bother or interact with the person in question. It could suggest a lack of interest or a desire to end a relationship. For example, "I'm gonna leave you alone, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
No, they don't mean the same thing, quite opposite actually.
