Question

Filled out e-form to amend my taxes, but not yet shipped it. 1040 e-filed on 2/5/20. Have I delayed my original refund by filling out the form online (& e-filed w NY)?

No, merely filling out the form and not transmitting has no effect on any potential refund.  

You should wait to file your amended return until you get the refund from your original return.  Even if your original return has been accepted by the IRS, it's still possible that the IRS could change your refund or balance due on that return.
