I think Amon Amarth could have been fairly steep, since it was a volcano and all. I think that it would look the same that it did in the LotR movies (by PJ). All of the clouds/red misty stuff in the sky could have been visible over the Ered Lithui, but I don't think the mountain itself would be.
Even if the Mountain itself were large, Frodo and Sam wouldn't have had to climb all the way to the top. They just had to get to the Sammath Naur, which were probably about a third of the way up. As for Sam carrying Frodo, it says in Return of the King that "a last burst of strength may have been gifted to him," and considering all that Frodo's been through, it might have been easy for Sam to carry him up.
