Do not do anything.   The IRS is cross checking for this mistake.  They will take away the amount you put on line 30 by mistake and lower your refund by that amount.  Expect a delay.

You cannot.  The IRS will catch it and fix it for you but expect a 3-4 month delay in processing your return.

The IRS knows they sent you the stimulus payment.  They will adjust your tax return accordingly.  If you are still owed a refund it will be delayed by several weeks or longer.

You do not have to file an amended tax return.
