Is the Osaka Amazing Pass worth it?

Yes if you are doing one dense day with 4+ paid attractions and using metro/bus. It covers transit and bundles entry to major facilities. Skip it if you are spread over multiple days or visiting fewer than 2 paid attractions.

What is the difference between Osaka Amazing Pass and Osaka e-Pass?

Amazing Pass includes unlimited metro and bus rides plus facility entry. e-Pass is facility-entry only with no transit included and works well when you are already using private railways. Amazing Pass is physical or QR; e-Pass is QR only.

When should I use an IC card instead of a pass?

Use ICOCA or Suica when your trip is spread across multiple days, you are visiting 0 to 1 paid attractions, or you want to keep decisions simple. IC card pay-as-you-go beats any pass for low-density travel.

Can I use the Osaka Amazing Pass on JR trains?

No. The Amazing Pass covers Osaka Metro, city buses, and some private railways. JR lines are not included.
