As long as my experience, I think you need to prepare the .win file and prepare the projections. There is an explanation about the projections in the user manual.

When I use num wann = num_bands, then it doesnt ask for *amn files because there is no need for disentanglement. But what If I want to disentangle? I did not get any erros while the vasp code was running and writing the wannier files.

I am doing very heavy and intensive GW calculations which require a lot of memory and time, so its hard for me to repeat the calculations. Is there a way i can get the *amn files just from the final WAVECAR/CHG/CHGCAR files ?
