It isn’t really grammatically correct to say ‘Do you want I to do.’ It’s like saying ‘are you asking I to do this?’ Which doesn’t sound right. So, you’d say, for example, ‘I went to the park’ rather than ‘Me went to the park’. When you talk about what you, yourself, is doing or what your opinion is on something, you’d use ‘I’. When you say it otherwise, you’d use ‘Me’.
Hope this helps

It's just a rule of grammar. In English, as in German, for instance, the most common (and basic) structure of a sentence is: SPO (subject-predicate-object). The subject is typically in a case called nominative, the object(s) can vary between genitive, dative and accusative. But as a rule of thumb a sentence will only have one noun/pronoun in nominative. And in the sentence you presented that role is taken by "you".
To find out which word in a sentence is the subject, you use the question "who". For the object it depends on the verb, the predicate, which case it stands in. But here, with want, the question is WHOM, and the answer is the dative, ME.

Ok. You mean that’s because I ask other people’s opinions, I need to use me. Right?

Oh, ok.
“You” is the subject of the sentence “Do you want me to do”.
It makes sense.🤔
