1. Yes.
2. No: AMS only has one terminal. (It does have several "piers", but these are not like terminals since you can just walk between them freely and they are all close together. [Well, except the Schengen pier, but that doesn't matter to your journey.])
3. Yes, and your bags will usually travel on the same aircraft as you.
You will be presented with both boarding passes when you check in at Toronto. The second boarding pass will probably not have a gate on it, since this isn't confirmed so far ahead.
If you only get the first one for some reason (or lose the second one!), you can pick up the second boarding pass at AMS, just go to a "Transit desk". There are lots of these around the gates. There are machines or if you prefer, bright blue Dutch employees who speak perfect English.
When you get to AMS, find the nearest information monitor just like you would do first time you get to an airport, and find which gate you need to go to. You will probably have time for a beer!
Your bag will be checked through to BHX automatically.
