If you eat a piece of meat, you first need to chew it, then swallow; it's impossible to skip either without failing to consume the meat. Energybending is the same - what Amon does is related, perhaps with the same effects, but it's not coming from the same source.

Yes, it would be possible for Yakone (whom I suspect to be Amon, fits in really) to have accidentally gained the power of energybending from Aang, but I doubt it.

And resisting bloodbending isn't that very hard if you're strong enough - and we know Amon's physical condition is insane, and he has an utter lack of fear, so if anyone's able to walk straight through any form of bending it's him.
