Yes, to some extent. I edited the config, as I was willing to pay for the extra bandwidth, and enabled an Exit Relay.
I was under the impression that this was permitted.
Amazon does not like Exit Nodes running in EC2. I'm not sure if there was a specific reason bridge vs relay was chosen, but I do know that exit nodes weren't an option.
You can fight them on it, but you'll probably lose. Or you can switch them back to bridges or to relays, and tell them you've removed the exit node.

This is something which has always confused/annoyed me. How can a Tor node (unless it's exposing its SOCKS interface to the whole world) be classed as an "open proxy"?
Yes, Exit Relays exit to the clear Internet but they're not exactly open to clients for connection (unless specifically configured that way).
