I have some doubts regarding reporting this sentence: When I'm old I think I'll do whatever I want. Which is the correct option? "She said that when she is old she thinks she would do whatever she wants". Or "She said that when she was young she thinks she would do whatever she wanted".

The second one is correct as you are using the subjunctive form, an hypothetical situation.
