Not true. That video is not clear, but watching live on NBC, you could see his left foot hit Amos and then come back overlapping his right foot causing the fall. They showed many replays and watching it you could see where the alignment of the foot was caused by the bump of Amos.
Very true. It's pretty silly for the refs to claim that Jewett completely hooked his right foot over the back of his left leg for no reason.
Another question though... Amos had the inside line earlier in the turn, and Jewett was overtaking. Jewett moved over to the inside before he seemed to have a clear gap, causing Amos to slow a bit (?). The contact occurred as Amos was moving to the outside of Jewett. Is the responsibility on Jewett or Amos?
If Jewett had initiated contact as soon as he'd moved to the inside it would be clear cut I think, but a couple strides happened between that move and the contact.
