Answer: If your father conveyed his real estate to himself and his brother as joint tenants before he died then his interest in the property automatically passed to his brother upon his death. There might be an exception if you could prove your father was imcompetent when he signed that deed of if there was some other valid reason to contest it. If not then your father could legally do what he wanted with his property before he died.

Step-children have no rights to a step-parent's estate who died intestate (without a will) unless the step-children had been legally adopted by the step-parent. In that case they would have the right to a portion of the adoptive parent's estate under the state laws of intestacy. However, the step-parent could leave gifts to step-children in a will.

It depends on what the will says. If there is no will the intestacy law of the jurisdiction will be applied. In many cases they will be entitled to half the estate if there are no children from the second marriage.
