Expenses always credit the asset or liability account (reducing the balance of the asset account and increasing that of the liability) and debit the expense account that balances it. In GnuCash debits are positive and credits are negative numbers, so you need to negate the amount from Amazon and not the one from the bank.

Use Amount in both cases. That covers the contingency that the account is in a different currency; if it isn’t then amount and value are the same.
