(2020) Questions regarding Amumu

So I'm very new to both Amumu and jungling and have a few, hopefully not too stupid, questions.

1: I always go Cinderhulk - Boots - Thornmail/Abyssal Mask, depending on the enemy comp. However, I feel like movement is a huge issue for me. How viable is rushing Righteous Glory after Cinderhulk+Boots instead?

2: Regarding jungle pathing. Guides recommend doing a full clear, which would make sense, as Amumu has good AoE clear. However, I have been rushing buff-buff-gromp in order to get to lv 3 and gank asap. Which path is better and why so?

Statistically Amumu's best items are Abyssal Mask, Thornmail, and Liandries, however if you find yourself struggling to stay in range then Rylai's provides a lot of sticking power given that you land your first Q.

As for pathing, Amumu does pretty well when level 3 ganking (especially mid), so I tend to stick to the 3 camp->gank strategy.
