NON apple phone users. . .
So because you don't know, would you follow up on any of the links? Seems that you are the intended target as you don't know the answers to any of the questions. .

Well.... Since the app is in the Amazon web store and this message is intended to look as though it came from Amazon one might assume it was targeting users of Android devices such as the Amazon firestick.
Since I did not receive the email I'm pretty sure I'm NOT the intended target. On the other hand, I *do* have a firestick with the Apple TV app installed so I am a potential target. Fortunately for me, I know how to analyze URLs and follow them safely. While I don't know if Amazon sells Apple TV subscriptions, I do know that I have not purchased one. (is there another question I don't know the answer to?)
While I might fit some of the profile of an intended target, the effort would be lost on me.
