No. However, you should contact an attorney who can review your situation and determine if the niece's husband could be determined to be an heir. In that case, the niece could inherit from her husband's estate.

Is your brother's daughter through marriage your niece?

This is an unclear and rarely used phrase - "your brother's daughter through marriage." If your brother married a woman and they had a daughter, the daughter is "your brother's daughter through marriage" since the one followed the other. That daughter is your niece. If your brother married a woman who already had a daughter from a previous relationship, that daughter is your niece only if your brother adopted her. If he did not adopt her, you are not related. However, you can treat her as your niece if you want to.

How are you related to your niece's husband's daughter?

Your niece's husband's daughter is also your niece's daughter and therefore she is your great niece. You are her great aunt or great uncle, depending on your sex. If your niece's husband's daughter is from a previous marriage, and so not also your niece's daughter, you are not related to her. Of course, if your niece adopts her, then she is your adopted great niece. If your niece married her husband while his daughter was very young and everyone has been treating her as your niece's daughter, then you can call her your great niece if you want, but that does not change the fact that you have no common ancestors and therefore are not related to each other.
