Does Amazon...
keep a log as to when I am on my Kindle Fire? Do they keep a log as to what I am doing, either reading, surfing the internet, playing a game?

If you use Kindle Unlimited or Underground apps, they track pages read / app usage to determine payment to the author / developer. That's why you can't use Underground apps if you turn off app usage data collection (settings > Apps & Games). I imagine the same data is tracked for non-KU / Underground content, it just isn't used for the same purpose.

Silk browser requests go through Amazon EC2 proxy servers by default. You can turn this off by opening Silk, entering settings > advanced > cloud features.

They are no doubt also collecting loads of data in aggregate.

reading yes: within the kindle app. if whisper sync is enabled, then last page read is sent to amazon for syncing to other devices
you can disable it if you like
some games are linked to game circle or whatever it's called nowadays and track progress centrally
for the die hard paranoid, there is always aeroplane mode
