The brother can act as co-sponsor or any other individual for that matter. The only requirements are that the co-sponsor must be either a US citizen or LPR [green card], must have the financial ability to undertake the co-sponsor obligations and lastly, must be residing in any state in United States.

Anyone who meets the financial requirements can file an Affidavit of Support as a co-sponsor.

Yes, as long as he has sufficient income and documentation, such as proof of legal status, proof of income, and his most recent federal tax return or an extension of the same.

Yes, so long as the brother in law is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and can show the necessary amount of money on his last federal tax return. If this sister and brother in law are married, you will also need a contract between household members.
