If "you pray without ceasing" you don't end it.
Seriously, I always do when I'm leading a prayer, but I don't always when it's a personal prayer. I do personal prayers a lot. They are private. I figure God knows when I'm praying and why I'm praying and when I've stopped praying. So the "Amen" really is unnecessary in a private and personal prayer.

I don't. It's not a Baha'i custom to end prayers in "Amen." We simply say the prayer and that's it. I've never seen it as a scriptural command, it's just a custom. God already knows when we finish a prayer, even before we start it.

Amen is so be it, or let it be so. A good way to end a prayer.

Yes it is ise to round off the prayer like "the end" a story.

No. Many times I just say "Thank you God" or "Thank you Lord" or "please" I usually say "amen" when I say common prayers like grace at meals or the Our Father. When I just am talking to God I usually don't say Amen.

if I don't say amen then I say In Jesus' name or something like that

That's the usual practice. It signifies that all are accepting your prayer, even you.

yes. It is sort of like the period at the end of the sentence.

Amen actually means "and let it be done.." "Make it happen"
