It sounds right on track. Most ales will finish up in 3-5 days with active fermentation.

yeah pretty much. If it didn't quit bubbling, that would be more worrisome.
I know this will cause controversy but- I'd lest citing primary for at least ten days. This will give the yeast a chance to clean up any residual fermentation "leftovers".
My personal practice (this is the controversial part) is to then move it to secondary for another 7-10 days. Particularly if you want to dry hop. Then cold crash & keg or bottle.

No problems leaving it in the primary. A lot of people here (myself included) will keep it in primary for 14+ days, then bottle/keg.

Sure can, at homebrew scale autolysis isn't much an issue, you can leave beer on the yeast for a few months no problem. There are a few reasons to go to secondary, such as some prefer to dry hop that way. But for an amber, keep it there until you are ready to bottle/keg.
