Well is you want my personal opinion amon is a half-Avatar create when Aang was killed for a short time in season 2. This seems to me to be the most reasonable way to explain his power. It seems that he got the spiritual side of the avatar which explains why korra has never been able to fully connect with the previous avatars nor the spirit world. This menas Amon was able to contact the spirits who are have been shown to be angered by industrialization. The spirits taught him how to energybend so he can fight for them.

Another thing is he may be able to air-bend which would explain why korra can't even do a simple level of it. But this part of the theory i'm not very sure about but the name of the season sort of hints at it. I think this because why is the season called air if Korra can't performe it nor does she learn it.

Also remember in the Avatar Universe age does not seem to be a very large factor in someones ability to fight so his age of about 70 would be possible.

As for the whole he would have to be born to waterbenders is still possible cause at no point do they say he has to be in the tribe. His parents could have been displaced non-bending water tribe members.
