"Supermarkets" in Amsterdam are tiny, even by Dutch standards.. I guess it depends on what you are accustomed to but even "large" Albert Heijns are smaller than for instance Tesco Metros, nevermind US supermarkets.
I'm unsure what you mean here but if you are in airside and not an employee you will have a boarding pass. Contrary to what some people think, one need not be departing from AMS to be able to buy items in the shops even if a boarding pass must be scanned.
Good to know
