I'll give the simplistic answers.
Thorns and IM are additive. If you have a 500% damage thorns and a 100% damage IM, that would be 600% damage returned on a 0% physical resist..
Since Amp drops physical resist, Amd and thorns are basically multiplicative. If you have 500% thorns and amp something with 0 phsyical immunity, you get 1000% damage returned. If it is 50% phys resistant it would 750%.
Of course using Amp means he isn't a "pure" summoner as that is a curse. But thorns is by far better than IM (not only because it returns higher damage but it is also almost always on your minions due to its huge radius), and there is no point in using IM and thorns when you can amp with thorns.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
