Why do lobbyists file amicus curiae briefs?
The only reason anyone files a brief as a "friend of the court" is because they have an interest in the outcome. While policy is generally made by the legislature, with the approval of the executive branch and that is usually where lobbyists work, the judicial branch's power to declare a law constitutional or un-constitutional gives them power over policy. So when a policy that the group that pay the lobbyist have an interest in the outcome of comes before the judicial branch on appeal, they might very likely file an amicus curiae brief.

How do you intervene in a federal court case?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'intervene'. If you mean, become a party to the case, you would have to have some reason to do so. For example, if two people were suing over ownership of a piece of property and you figure out it's really yours, then you might have grounds to intervene. The court would have to decide if you have standing to do so. Now, if by 'intervene' you mean submit a friend of the court brief, you have to ask the court for permission, and there may be restrictions, e.g. to ask the U.S Supreme Court for permission to submit a third-party brief you have to be an attorney licensed to practice and a member of the bar of the Supreme Court.
