“Hi - Is there any special amperage (greater than 15 amp breaker) required to install this microwave (e.g. replacing a range hood on 15 amp breaker)?”

Hire a licensed electrician and pull a city electrical permit for the following: Replacing a hardwired range hood you'll likely need to extend your nmb14/3 or nmb12/3 wiring in wall and add an outlet in the wall & cabinet directly above the range hood space. You might have just enough in-wall wire to fish it up into your freshly cut and mounted outlet box, but the wire must extend several inches beyond the new outlet box opening to properly connect the outlet terminals. If it's too short, you'll need to add a junction box where the original range hood wiring emerges from the wall, and add a short section of nmb14/3 or nmb12/3 wire from the junction box to the new outlet box. Yes, electrician+permit+inspection will cost as much as the microwave. Yes, it's worth it.
