I think you have the idea. See a couple comments below.

I don't know about "moving himself"; rather I think the idea is that Israel
will destroy Amelek. I think the NIV has the translation right: "...he
will come to ruin at last." I think I might translate it myself "its end
will be utter ruin." I say *utter* ruin because of `adey. Amelek will
arrive at its end, which is ruin. It cannot be any more ruined; its ruin it
total.

I think that's right. Notice that (fDeyKf T")teH or `adeyka te'teh is
parallel and basically synonomous with UBf)fH , that is uba'ah.
