Yes, I believe so. Not sure when this "permanent embargo" started, but it had to have been recently because on my last trip to Bolivia (end of 2010) I brought my usual 85lb box and 2 80lb suitcases and paid the regular fees. Unless the check in counter didn't know about the embargo on my last trip and I got "lucky".

Correct. Amex didn't change anything as far as I know.
