Questions

How many characters does a Brazil IBAN have?

29 characters: the country code BR, two check digits, and a 25-character national account number (BBAN).

Is Brazil in SEPA?

No, Brazil is not in SEPA; transfers use international payment rails.

Does a valid checksum mean the account exists?

No. The mod-97 checksum catches typos; it does not confirm the account or its holder. In the Netherlands, your bank's name check (Verificatie van Betalingsontvanger) matches the holder.
