I don't think Amon is engery bending at all. If you look at the season finale trailer, you will notice that Amon puts a lot of pressure onto the victim's forehead. Meaning he's most likely chi-blocking the victim's mind, causing the victim to lose visual on how to bend. When you look at energy bending, there is no pressure applied at all. Aang simply taps on the forehead and chest, channeling the chakra.

I'm pretty sure waterbenders can unblock the minds of the victims. There was one episode in Avatar where Katara used her healing power to unblock an Earth bender's arm (Ty Lee chi-blocked it).
