DESCRIPTIONThis amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.
Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks. See Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities for a list of abilities. Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses. An amulet of mighty fists cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +5. An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, greater magic fang, creator's caster level must be at least three times the amulet's bonus, plus any requirements of the melee weapon special abilities; Cost 2,000 gp (+1), 8,000 gp (+2), 18,000 gp (+3), 32,000 (+4), 50,000 (+5)

Helpful Harry is correct. The FAQ that you linked to explains the price change so 100,000 is the new price.
No, it can't have impervious because impervious is not something that happens on an unarmed attack. It is just something that makes weapons harder to break.
If it did something to increase how much damage an unarmed attack did that would be something you could apply.
Secondly, can one have a +5 Amulet of Mighty Fists with corrosive? (I don't think so, but want to check?)
No. The amulet is limited to a maximum effective bonus of +5. That includes any special abilities on it. The best it can be is a +4 Amulet of Mighty Fists with corrosive.
Also, can an Amulet of Mighty Fists have Impervious? (look... monks punch a lot of things, it might me useful)
No. The amulet doesn't let you apply just any special ability. It seems to only function with those special abilities that have an effective bonus cost, like +1 or +2. IT has no language that allows for special abilities with a flat cost (likely because no such abilities existed at the time).
Even if you could, it would have absolutely no effect. Natural attacks/unarmed strikes aren't metal, so can't rust. They aren't wood so can't warp or rot. They don't have hardness or HP, nor do they have a break DC and they can't be sundered. There would be no benefit at all.
There is an errata in the original question you should all take into account.
Can you be more specific? I can't see a problem. The only errata I know of is the price, and Helpful Harry and wraithstrike are correct only that. A +4 amulet with corrosive (+1 effective, for a total of +5) costs 100,000gp to buy and 50,000gp to make.

The errata is what dropped the price down to what the FAQ says it is now.
Page 496—In the amulet of mighty fists, change the price line to read as follows: “Price 4,000 gp (+1), 16,000 gp (+2), 36,000 gp (+3), 64,000 gp (+4), 100,000 gp (+5)”. Change the cost line to read as follows “Cost 2,000 gp (+1), 8,000 gp (+2), 18,000 gp (+3), 32,000 gp (+4), 50,000 gp (+5)”
Those prices are identical to what is in the FAQ also. There has been no errata that takes the price back up to the old price.
you can get higher so long as you pay the extra 50% on the cost for combining magic items i think, have a +10 equivalent of enchantments on an amulet of mighty fists but it will cost 250k so if you want the option its there its just gona be hella expensive and most likely not worth itSecondly, can one have a +5 Amulet of Mighty Fists with corrosive?

The combing magic items rule has doesn't do anything for bypassing the +5 limit on the AoMF. If the AoMF was being combined with another item the +50% rule(guideline) would work.
it would be 2 amulets of mighty fist in the same item use one for the static bonuses the other for the effects neither one is going over their +5 cap but you would get the bonuses of bothThe combing magic items rule has doesn't do anything for bypassing the +5 limit on the AoMF.

I don't think that was the intent of the guideline, but at this point we are talking about custom items so I guess it doesn't matter.
Personally I feel like the amulets should have an alternative item that only works on punches so the price can drop, and people can get higher enhancements more easily, but that horse has been beaten enough, and Paizo is not budging.
IIRC they feel like nobody would use the AoMF, but I feel like it still would be good for monsters, and people who want to have their other limbs available while holding things.
edit: I just remembered the cost is the same as two weapons with the same bonus. I would just allow the max to go to +10.
The FAQ reduced the price from 5000*N*N to 4000*N*N.
As written a single AoMF has a +5 cap.
But what about a slotless AoMF?
It has no language about only allowing one to work.
I can see a +3 amulet and a +2 amulet only giving the better of the two, but what about a +3 and a slotless corrosive/bane amulet? There is no overlap, and being slotless, it does not occupy a slot. Yeah, you pay double, but it could be worth it.
Watch out, you might end up looking like this.
