There is a pressure point in the back of the neck that, if hit hard enough, can cause someone to die. So it's fitting that Amon touches the back of the neck because taking away a bender's ability is, metaphorically speaking, "killing" them. I think Amon is able to resist bloodbending due to his knowledge of anatomy and his sheer willpower (he's cold, calculating, determined, and knows how to mess with someone's psyche). He's definitely human, but his superior intellect and Hitler-esque mentality is what makes him such a threat.
