Not quite true. Any program which uses workbench.library or icon.library would be linked against Ambient's versions of these when run.
With the completely GPL Ambient release, this means that strictly you cannot legally run non-free software which uses workbench.library or icon.library (since you cannot link non-free software to a GPL library).
It depends. If I provide a piece of software which links against a library *when run* it does not break the GPL.
GPL *only* applies to distribution. If you are not supplying that library yoursef the GPL is irrelevant.
