No, the Amana colonies are not Amish. Outside of being protestant and originating in and around Germany they have almost nothing in common. The Amanites are a 18th century pietist sect of the Lutheran Church which settled first in Pennsylvania and later in Iowa in the 1800s. They formed a communistic society in Iowa which survived until the 1930s when it was disbanded largely for financial reasons.
The Amish and Mennonites descend from 16th century Anabaptists and are theologically and socially distinct from the Amana colonies.
