Dear friends,

a. Stop walking back and forth in front of me! I feel so dizzy.
b. Don't ask silly and stupid questions anymore. Do ya know that how much you trouble me?

- Are these sentences grammatical?

Thanks a bunch

Sentence b. is not a sentence that a native speaker would use. Natives would write out "Do you know" (even if they would pronounce the phrase as "D'ya no") and the very informal "do ya" clashes with the overly formal "how much you trouble me." Most natives would write, "Do you know how much you bother me (or you're bothering me)."

Yes they are, but please note that "ya" is very informal and its usage would not be recommended in formal writing.

I fully concur with the other posters along with the edit I've made above. I don't know if it's a "typo" or not but it's not grammatically correct to use "that".
