Two questions
1. If you lived in America, would you wear a kippah outside the house or only at home/during prayer?
2. I was injured in the fighting in Gaza and, to my terrible regret, both of my hands were amputated (I asked a friend to type it for me now). Should I only put on head tefillin or simply not put it on at all?
Thank you very much in advance.

1. I assume I wore a kippah, although I didn't live there and maybe it depends on the place in question. Generally, when I was abroad (Paris, Rome, Sweden) some recommended going without a kippah. I went with one, because I was sick of the idea of giving in to these intimidations. Although I didn't feel any real fear there and there may be more problematic places.
2. Oh, very sad to hear. I wish you an efficient and speedy recovery as possible. I am glad to see that your spirit is strong and you are dealing with the halakhic aspects of your situation. Bless you.
To your question, hand tefillin do not hinder head tefillin and vice versa. Of course, you must put on head tefillin.
It is true that the poskim disagreed about which blessing to say. This is the disagreement between the Shulchan Arba and the Rema. If you have practiced the blessings according to the Shulchan Arba (the Sephardic custom), you must only recite the blessing "on the mitzvah of tefillin," and if according to the Rema (Ashkenazim), recite both blessings.
