The where's my amended return tool says call the irs, what does this usually mean? I thought they didn't want you to call. I efiled my amended return 4/2/21? I just amended the recovery rebate portion and am a non filer usually? I am afraid to call, will they send me a letter?

It depends. They may need to verify information before they process your amendment, especially since you are typically a non-filer. Please call the number given on the Where's my Amended Return website.
