I actually just took "why do I let you out" as a kind of in-joke for herself, like another way of saying "I can't take you anywhere", but under the circumstances, 'out' is certainly an interesting choice of words. I'm not sure how the heck she knows Amy.
I'll be really, really sad, not to mention surprised, if Amy is an Auton construct or whatever. For many reasons, but mostly because I love her and it'd be such a dick way to undermine her character, especially considering how Donna wound up. And if the point of them constructing Amy was so that her entire life was a trap for Eleven and they could lure him wherever they wanted, Roman Britain underneath Stonehenge seems like an odd choice. (Also, if you're going to go to all that trouble, why even bother with the Pandorica? Why not just take him down and shoot him till he stops regenerating?) But the inconsistencies you're talking about all make way more sense if something's up with Amy, but I'd rather it connect her to the big bad rather than just the Pandorica alliance.
Actually, the biggest headspin I had with the whole thing (having only seen it once) was that that whole alliance and all the brilliant species in it completely failed to allow for the possibility that when something goes wrong with the TARDIS, there could be anyone other than the Doctor piloting it. Like, that seems like a huge huge assumption on which to base your whole plan, not to mention the fate of the universe--even if none of them knew of any other pilots, they know he travels with people all the time who might have to fly the thing in a pinch and not necessarily know what they're doing. I dunno, it seems like a good time for an overabundance of caution.
