I'm not sure I fully inderstand what you're saying. An Am cord would be the 1st fret on the second string, and the 2nd frets and the third and fourth strings, and you strum 5 strings. A C would be 1st fret on the second string, 2nd fret on the third, and 3rd fret on the fourth. it's very easy to alternate between an Am and a C. You just move your ring finger.
And the strumming just depends on your personal style and preference of playing.
