As a dietary supplement, could phenethylamine cause a false-positive for amphetamines in urine analysis? (not to be mistaken for phenathylamine)

Not likely : Oral phenethylamine is virtually inactive -- gone within 5-10 minutes due to first-pass MAO inactivation. Also, drug tests are extremely sophisticated, and any questionable results would be confirmed by additional testing. I don't know of the other compound you mentioned, and it does not appear in any of my research either.
