Answer 1

Amazon distributes DynamoDB Local on their documentation website and over a custom Maven repository (details also in the documentation website), but not with Homebrew.

Answer 2

Since amazon stopped producing versioned links and the package is technically not opened sourced the homebrew maintainers removed it. More info here https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/9175.
