Energy bending is the proper name, but Amon is confirmed to be a non-bender. The creators also said chi blocking was different than energybending, and that chi blocking had an ancient history. Amon and the equalist chi block, but there is nothing there about energybending or bending of any kind. The Equalists likely have certain tricks to combat benders, but non of that has anything to do with non-benders suddenly bending. That would be lame anyways, because it would kill the enire point of a non-bender revolution against bending in the first place.

Besides, Bumi can't be Amon or wiping out practically his entire family would be part of his stated goal. It makes zero sense that Aang and Katara would raise anyone who was of bad character, let alone who wanted to commit genocide, let alone genocide of his own family as part of that.
