What's the purpose of the honey? If you add it during the boil, it will just ferment out all the way and dry out the beer. Even in secondary, you won't get as much honey as you seem to be looking for. I have found that honey malt will give a much better honey character than actual honey.

Absolutely not. You're still within the style guidelines for an Amber. It may throw the IBU's a little out of balance, but you'll be fine. Probably not. Everything in your kettle should have been sterile from the boil. Just go ahead and pitch. Those yeasties will take care of business...
