The hieroglyphs are wrong.

amuntet is represented by a falcon over a feather ontop of a pole.

Example here: [1]

No, thats her determinative - it marks the collection of glyphs as a name of a specific god rather than what the name means. It goes at the end of the collection of glyphs.

The hieroglyphs in the article are roughly "A", "M", "N", and "T" (vowels, other than A, were not included - they are usually guessed to be "e", except where the way the jaw works makes it hard to say "e" in their place, preferring "u") "Amnt" => "amenet" or "amunet" (easier to pronounce) or "amaunet" (even easier to pronounce). "T" is the glyph that looks like half a circle - a mound ("tanen" in the egyptian language). "A" is the upstanding feather.
