I think that its possible that Tarrlock is working with Amon under the understanding that it would be politically beneficial to both. Tarrlock's actions seem to be too perfect for what Amon is going for in terms of manipulating the public's opinion, and if I was Amon, I would've created a "two pronged attack" situation as well so that I would have influence in the government to help assist in his plan of "revolution"

Theory: Concerning energybending, it is most likely what Amon is using to strip benders of thier power, but since it is also the original bending art that all forms derive from, it may be possible to use it to either grant a non-bender bending, OR grant a bender more advanced aptitude for thier bending art by manipulating the person's energies. If Tarrlock was in league with Amon and Amon used energybending to increase his power to prove not only his power but to show Tarrlock a glimpse of the power he would possess once he joined him, that would explain tarrlocks bloodbending without a full moon.

This would also mean that Amon is only using the equalist rallying cry as a method to gain support and control for another purpose, since at this point he would be a bender by all accounts (energybending is a lost art that many do not know about so it could be easily confused by most as not bending).
