ff99SB should be fine for proteins.

Well, of course if you take a membrane-bound protein and put it in solution
it's going to behave a bit differently. I'm no expert on bilayer simulations
as opposed to simulations in aqueous solutions, though. Others may be able to
offer more knowledgeable comment.

Maybe, but probably not. Duplicate atom numbers are annoying for bookkeeping
purposes, but shouldn't cause the simulation to blow up. Duplicate atom positions,
on the other hand, are very likely to do precisely that. Have you made sure that
no two atoms share the same coordinates?
Also, how many steps of steepest-descent minimisation are you starting off with?
Going directly into conjugate-gradient minimisation is generally considered a bad
idea, because CG doesn't tolerate extremely unfavourable states well, at least
as implemented in Amber. I would suggest running at least 100, and probably more
like 500, steps of steepest-descent minimisation before switching to conjugate
gradients. Please refer to the manual for instructions on how to do that.
Regards,
Ben
