decomposition reactions are usually endo because they require energy to break the bonds in a compound, with a few exceptions. endo-bond breaking exo-bond making

then why these values show this process as being exo?
you mean ammonium nitrate decomposition is not endothermic?
it's always best to calculate the enthalpy change to make sure whether a reaction is endo or exo because there are exceptions. in this case, even though it's a decomposition reaction, it's exothermic.
but this shows presence of heat makes this endo. maybe something with the values is wrong... i just wanted to confirm what it really is. and im more confused than i ever was

only presence of heat does not make it endo, even exo reactions require heat because this is activation energy don't get confused. this is why enthalpy is calculated, to figure out whether there is an OVERALL intake or release of energy. it's correct don't worry.

then plz tell why Moles of products increased at high temperature? if its an exception and exo?

that's reaction kinetics, increasing the temperature increases the rate of the reaction(more moles of products are produced) because more frequent collisions are likely to occur between reactant particles(they have a higher average kinetic energy which means they move faster).

The graph is showing what happens when you add more moles of ammonium nitrate into the mix. Adding more moles means you are going to have a larger reactant than before, resulting in more moles of N2O and H2O being produced. This does not mean it is exothermic. This should be an endothermic reaction overall as you are decomposing ammonium nitrate into its constituents.
