Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
With only minor exception, we generally do not answer "amen" to our own prayers.
You are permitted to answer “amen” to prayers recited by Jews or to prayers recited by non-Jews who pray only to the G-d of Abraham who created the world.
Allow me to recommend the following sites to learn more about what G-d expects from Gentiles: https://sukkatshalom-bneinoach.com/ and https://www.netivonline.org/ which specializes in helping non-Jews with religious beliefs. There is a wealth of information there that you will find useful and inspiring.
