I would like to know whether an amendment to Partnership be called a Codicil. For that matter any Supplementary Deed or Amendment Deed be called a Codicil in general.

The term Codicil is used only in relation to a WILL and not otherwise.

Yes,codicil is used in relation of will.
A codicil is a document that amends, rather
than replaces, a previously executed will. Amendments made by a codicil may add or revoke small provisions.
