A person visited USA in tourist visa b1/b2. during this time, her sister got citizenship.

the question is can the sister apply for his brother during the time when brother still in US, or brother has to go back to native country?

If she can apply while brother is in US, can the brother continue living in usa and get his work permit until he wait for so many years and get his green card? or he must go back to native country before his tourist visa expires?

Currently, it takes about 11 years for a US citizen to petition for a sibling. There is no way for the sibling to wait in the US. The sibling with a valid visitor visa must return home when his I-94 expires.

If the route you suggest was possible, people would simply get visitor visas to skip the 11 years wait to immigrate to the US. This would create an incentive for people to fraudulently obtain a visitor visa to immigrate to the US.

ditto,

brother can visit but must return to his country, sibling don't qualify to adjust in country. he has to wait in his country for more than 10 years.

there is no work permit for siblings, since they don't qualify to adjust in country.
