It's not a great lounge and I wouldn't want to spend a very long time there.

The airport hotel should be free if you fly in and out on RJ (on the same ticket), but not sure they'd extend that offer if you fly in on another carrier. But it gets pretty terrible reviews on here, so since you have time and are willing to pay the visa fee then I'd go downtown. There are plenty of hotel options there,and believe it or not there's plenty to do in Amman at night time. A lot of middle eastern cities really come alive at night because of the heat in the daytime. I think that's a good case for the 7:30pm arrival.

No need to get back to the airport super early, it's a tiny airport and not very busy. I've never encountered a queue to get through security and immigration, though security is quite picky so be ready for a couple of scans if you have a lot of electronics like I typically do. I basically just disassemble my whole bag these days at AMM and put everything in a tray, saves a lot of time despite the hassle of repacking. With your planned 2 hours, that's PLENTY of time, especially if you're already checked in from the previous flight. Myself I'd cut it to max 1h30m, trust me that airport is quite boring, but the lounge food is likely better than what you'll get on board, RJ's food is pretty sad in business class.
