Good on you for going with your gut. Unless they can give you better answers than that, they shouldn't be pressuring you for an amnio, especially with low amniotic fluid. An amnio could cause this to leak further. Sometimes they try to inject fluid directly into the sac - did they suggest this to you? It doesn't always work.
There are a number of conditions that can cause low amniotic fluid. Our son died from one of them, but it wasn't picked up until birth. I wouldn't take back the time I had with him for anything, but I also wouldn't continue a pregnancy if it happened again. Some things are just too painful. We all have to make the decisions that suit us best. This doesn't mean your bub has anything as bad! btw - an amnio wouldn't have picked up his condition.
Increase your fluids, eat well, take care of yourself and trust your instinct.
