If you're playing a Fighter with Extra Attack and use the Attack Action to attack twice and then use Action Surge for another Attack Action do you get to attack twice again?

Yeah, it's especially awesome when you see a 20th level two-weapon Fighter unleash 20 attacks in 12 seconds (that's 1.666~ attacks per second).

Good point.  I was wrong about Action Surge requiring a bonus action (it doesn't) and the fighter does get two in this case.

Just so we're clear, you guys agree that Action Surge doesn't grant an additional bonus action?

My understanding is also "action + action (+ bonus action)," based on the wording:

 

On your turn, you can take
one additional action on top of your regular action and a
possible bonus action.
