I believe the answer is:

dame

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pantomime star' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'made amends' is the wordplay.
'made' can be anagrammed to 'DAME'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Title of great actresses" , "That ain't no lady'" , "Pantomime character" , "Man's panto role" .)
