Korra does not break free from Amon's grip despite being the Avatar and being a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. Her bending was metaphysically severed and therefore the only way to restore her bending is to undergo energybending as Aang did after confronting Amon. Not to mention she doesn't access the Avatar State (one of the only two ways she could break free) until this time as well.

Also, simply just being a waterbender is not a pre-requiste of bloodbending. Outside of Yakone and his sons, bloodbending for all others would have to be performed during a full moon. Also, one would have to be well versed in their knowledge of the human body and it's chi points, something I doubt Korra would know given her lack of affinity for the spirituality of bending.

In short, Korra couldn't be able to break free as the only two methods she could break free are not shown or likely.
