I think effect amount is a multiplier that determines how much the project counts for when conflicting with enemy missions (counter-intel versus mission).
No, the counterintel bonus is set by this line in Settings.txt:
Intelligence Defense Modifier Percent := 120
I think Effect Amount does exactly what it says. Ship Bomb does 80 points of damage, Engine Damage affects 1 ship, Fuel Leak drains 1000 supplies; etc.
