I'm not sure who inspired Chopin for his overall compositions, but I did read in a piano book from Michael Aaron Piano Course that composer John Field (1782-1837) wrote Nocturnes that inspired Chopin for that particular style.
Frederic Chopin had 3 siblings.

Many composers did; the most famous are Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy and John Field.
Well, Beethoven wrote for the piano orchestrally. Schubert wrote for the piano vocally. But possibly the first person to write for the piano truly pianistically was Frederick Chopin. There have been many others, of course, but Chopin was the first really great composer to understand, in your words, the "nature and potential of the piano as an expressive instrument".
This is somewhat tricky to answer. Frédéric Chopin grew up in Warsaw, Poland and many of his works were composed while there. But, he lived his adult life (which was fairly short) in Paris where he supported himself by selling his compositions and teaching piano. So, I would say the answer is Paris.
