Does a payment have to be made on a 1040X if a refund was to be received but now owe or do I go by the new numbers on the 1040A it printed which shows a smaller refund?

Yes, if you had a larger refund on the original than the Amended Return, then you will have to send a check for the difference to the IRS. In the initial refund, you got more than you were entitled to based on incomplete information. If all the information had been entered at the same time, your refund would have been smaller.
