If I'm stopped, I tend to wait for green.

If it's amber and I'm approaching, I need to stop during the test, right? (Even if it's just for a second before it turns green?)

If other traffic leaves on an amber, do I just move toward the line. Stop. Wait a second for green, and move on? (Even though the car behind me could end up shunting me!)

Red and amber means do not go until its green

however on a pedestrian controlled one, flashing amber means go if its clear

i believe

Easy answer to this one.

Setting off
On your test, amber means double blindspot check (in town areas), thus when you have done this, and set off, it'll be green anyway.

Don't worry about holding up traffic on your test anyway, the examiner will be sat right behind you.

Slowing down
If it's amber flashing (ie go when noone crossing) make sure you slow down and check visibly.

If it's solid amber when you approach, slow down, and wait for green. by the time you've slowed down it'll probably be green anyway, so just mirror and carry on.
