My Opinion: I think Buffy would have worn it herself if Spike hadn’t demanded it. She’s more than human, too, so the amulet should have worked on her, and I can’t see her asking someone else to take such an unknown risk. As for the second question, I think she had a feeling of foreboding. She’s genuinely horrified in the cavern when it becomes clear that Spike’s going to die, but she also seems reconciled to it pretty quickly, which makes me think that it had occurred to her as a remote possibility but that she had dismissed it (perhaps out of simple denial; if I don't think about it, it won't happen, etc.). If she had considered it a likely possibility ahead of time, I don’t think she would have given it so readily to Spike; she probably would have taken the burden of hurting his feelings and worn it herself.
