2) Lambda doesn't care that much about Bern winning, so far she just lied and the only thing she cares is to enjoy this game and enjoy seeing Bern struggling to solve it.

I vaguely recall someone in EP 5 stating that Lambda wanted to sway Battler over to the witch's side. It makes some sense from a strategic standpoint; while Battler is earnestly playing the witch side he can't meet his initial winning condition (disprove witches) and end the game.
Given that, leaving Beato and Natsuhi exposed and helpless against Bern's attacks could be part of her plan. Battler isn't exactly hard to predict. I'm sure she knew that he would jump to their aid rather than supporting his supposed ally Erika, especially after piece Battler had done the same in Kinzo's study. Then, of course, there's the retrial which she is all too happy to grant to him.
