In the British Army, at ease is a command for the 'at ease' stance, hands behind the backs and legs shoulder width apart. Can also be done for sitting in some circumstances.
As you were means just that, revert back to what you were doing.
For instance someone enters a room that people are busy in, they stand to attention then get back to what they were doing at the 'as you were' command. In a parade setting, they could be told to stand to attention, then told to stand at ease whilst someone talks to the assembled troops.
However the two terms do get used interchangably in movies.
