No you're not. You might have some Architecture: amd64 packages
installed (my guess is not many, if any), but this doesn't make your
system 64 bit. You can check with
aptitude search '?installed?architecture(amd64)'
Just because you're using the kernel package with -amd64 in its *name*
(which is most probably also an Architecture: i386 package, even if it
does contains the 64 bit kernel) doesn't make your entire system 64 bit.

You'll have to reinstall using a Debian amd64 image. However, I'll doubt
you'll notice any difference.
In theory a cross-grade is also possible, but it's complicated and may
break in interesting ways. Of course, if you'll be re-installing anyway,
why not try it out?

Your assumptions?
