Welcome to Health care magic.

1. The NT at 12 weeks cutoff measurement is 2 mm, in your case its 3.1mm which is increased.
2.Ths is treated as marker for syndromes and anomalies can be suspected.
3.It good you have amnio booked in 2 weeks it will help to rule out presence of any congenital anomalies.
4.No its not always compulsion to have anomalies / syndrome you may get through with out. There is another scan at 18-22 weeks for foetal anomalies that will be the final step to evaluate presence of any anomalies. And to decide weather to prolong or not.
5.Do not loose hopes possibilities of normal pregnancy are there. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
