Part of it is probably due to the bacterial fermentation: acid is produced, which clots the milk just like if you let it go sour.
The proteins start clinging to each other and also absorb more water.
However, I find commercial yogurt is also heated, further denaturing the proteins and making the product more thick than home-made yogurt ever gets.

How many 1 3 cups make 1 cup?
Techically speaking, 3. ;-) If you are looking for substituting the milk with yogurt, you need to remember the consistancy of yogurt is quite a lot thicker than milk. I would suggest you use 3/4 cups of yogurt and add water to 1 cup. See if that is still the same consistency of milk. Ratio 3:4. I substituted yogurt equally to milk one time, and had to add water to the mixture. It does create a different texture than what milk would be. Very good flavour though.
Can you use yoghurt instead of evaporated milk in pumpkin pie?
Yes, it should be just fine to do so. But you need to use 'regular' yogurt instead of the thicker types of yogurt, such as Greek yogurt. Otherwise, the filling for the pie will be too dense and dry.
