There's theoretically an infinite amount. Not only does the sequence and length of the amino acid change the resulting polypeptide, but also how the amino acid chain folds into its secondary, tertiary, and sometimes quaternary structure. The folding of proteins can be extremely complex.

Yes. Twenty standard amino acids are used by cells in protein biosynthesis, and these are specified by the general genetic code.
