The Lion Turtle stated that Energybending came about long before the Avatars existence, then transferred knowledge the technique (notice how he did not transfer any kind of skill or magic) to Aang.

The Avatar has no more ability to learn energybending than anyone else who is aware of it, Amon could simply been a different character who learned of Energybending through an as yet unknown course.

Also, Roku stated that, should an Avatar die in the Avatar State, the Avatar spirit would die. For the Avatar to be reborn the spirit would have to be alive at the time of his/her birth
