That is not how I read those figures.
The effectiveness is the percent reduction not the percent of population. So in the AZ 2 dose 90% case, if there would be 100 deaths among a given non-immunised population, there would be 10 deaths among the same population immunised. The mortality rate varies with age, but IIRC is about 1-3% across the board, so 2 dose of AZ for the population means we could expect mortality in the range of 0.1-0.3%.
