Not a birth certificate, but you do need to prove that you are a citizen to petition for your wife, so you world attach a copy of your certificate of naturalization, or copy or your USA passport, all pages, including cover.

Your wife would provide a copy of Notary birth certificate as well as translation at the visa interview at the consulate.

No it does not matter when you got married. Being a citizen just makes the visa process faster for you, no waiting for a visa number to come up for her.

It does not matter that you were married before you became a citizen, my husband and I were married before I became a citizen. If anything, I would think it would show you weren't just together for a visa :)

US law doesn't prohibit dual citizenship. However, once you naturalize, you are considered a US citizen on US soil regardless of how many other citizenships you may have. You also need to enter or leave the country using your US passport.

Brazil's law may be different. You should contact your embassy if this is a concern.
