I am trying to extract all the amenities inside a bounding box for different segments, I don't want to download them from the server every single time. Instead, I just want to download a general area and then if you select a specific street or segment show all the amenities in it.

I'm trying to build a python program where you specify two nodes (coordinates) and print out the amenities in that route.

Could you help please?

There are naturally many ways to achieve what you want, but a typical approach would be to import the POIs (extracted from a OSM planet dump) in a suitable format in to a database. You could either add a street reference to the POI before import, or use a geo-spatially enabled database (for example postgres with postgis) to on the fly determine which POIs to show based on their location.
