The IRS will not process the amended return until original return is processed. If the amendment shows a balance due then it needs to be paid. It won’t be deducted from original return.

You are not charged to amend your tax return unless amending required you to upgrade to a higher version of the software.   But you cannot pay the fee from your refund when you amend.   You have to pay upfront for the upgrade if you amended.   When you amend a tax return, the IRS will not make a direct deposit to a bank account.  They mail you a check.   So it is not possible to pay from your refund.
