After you have completed the amended return you will need to print it so you can sign it and mail it in so review it then ...
Look at the form 1040X …
Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.
If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:
On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return.
On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.
Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
I have already sent it. Is there a way to view the amount online?
You had to save the PDF of the return to print it, sign it and mail it .... so look at the amended form 1040X in the PDF you have .... or save a new PDF if needed.
I'm trying to figure out how much my amended return will be

I need to check the amount I'm receiving back on my amended return for 2022 so I can check my status
You will still get the first original full refund (and keep it) or need to pay the first tax due. You should not amend or change your return until you get the refund from the original return or your payment has cleared.
The amended return will only be the difference you get back or need to pay. You can confirm this by printing your amendment and looking at the 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 21 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.
