Can someone kindly confirm if שׁלוֹמָךְ and אַמָךְ have a kamatz katan in them? I do not believe they do, but I’m still working on my ability to spot the kamatz katan in some words.

I would pronounce these as shel-o-ma-ch and a-ma-ch, rather than with the “o” sound of the kamatz katan.

There is no Kamatz-kattan in those words. In Tanakh, according to the vowel system we use today, stressed syllables never have a Kamatz-kattan.

Thus, your examples are pronounced /she-lo-MACH/ and /`am-MACH/.
