I'm so sorry about your loss. Just two months ago I lost my best friend to suicide so I am still a bit new to this all and granted, losing a friend is not as traumatic as losing a brother but I can empathize a bit with what you are going through. Life has certainly "continued" since his death but none of us have really recovered. Some don't want to talk about it anymore but I've found that talking about it helps a lot. Keeping everything inside just makes it worse. I know most of the questions you have don't have any answers but ask them anyway. Above all, don't keep in to yourself. I'm convinced it's the only way for this wound to eventually start to eventually heal. So that's my advice for what it's worth. Keep your spirits up and be well.
