An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing in a circuit

If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.

Resistance
The power source must be disconnected from the circuit under test before connecting an ohm meter to prevent potential damage to the meter or the circuit. This ensures that there are no active voltages present while taking resistance measurements.
Circuit continuity can be tested by using an ohm meter.
No. While it is true that one can measure current at any point in a circuit by breaking the circuit at that point and inserting the meter, not any meter will do it. One must use an ammeter to measure current.
A volt meter will do the job.

With a meter that measures Ohms.

To check the amperage of an electrical circuit, you can use a clamp meter. Simply clamp the meter around one of the wires in the circuit to measure the current flowing through it. Make sure to set the meter to the appropriate amperage range before taking the reading.
