No they do not. The organisms that are classified as Amniota are birds, mammals, and reptiles. There organisms are believed to come from a primitive amniote in the precambrian era. The ancestor of the primitive amniote is an early tetrapod. This ancestor gave rise to ampbibians as well as the primitive amniote (which gave rise to mammals, reptiles, and birds). An Aminote just basically means that the organism has extraembryonic membranes (ie-allanotitic membrane, choronic membrane, yolk sac, and amniotic membrane).

No. Amniotes lay their eggs on land, frogs lay their eggs in water
