There's no way that Amon is an energy bender. First of all, if you watch closely, he only touches the head (indeed like Aang) but also the back of the neck. Both Aang AND the lion turtle touched BOTH the head and the heart. I think it's really interesting that Aang made a point of showing that to Korra (so theoretically now she knows how). I'm more interested in the ties between the name Amon & chakra blocking. Also, I'm very interested in how Amon shrugged off Tarrlok's bloodbending (although I already find it suspect that it was done at all times other than during the full moon--making it seem like something else). Regarding that, though, we have to remember that Aang shrugged it off in the avatar state (when he's at his most powerful and vulnerable) and Katara shrugged off Hama's as well (so more powerful benders can do it). The way he fights reminds me of Ty Lee who ultimately joined the Kyoshi warriors.
