Amazon calls itself "The Everything Store" and has enough market share that it is legally reasonable to think about if it is a deal facto monopoly governed by antitrust law

Monopoly? There is nothing stopping other companies from selling the same things Amazon does.

Any what is Amazon's share of all retail sales? My understanding it's in the single digit percentages.

Amazon had 4% of US retail sales in 2017, although that's 44% of US online retail sales. Online sales were 9% of retail sales.
