Yes, Philippe I, Duke of Orleans was his younger brother.
Depends which Philip II you mean. Philippe II of Orléans, Regent during the minority of Louis XV, was Louis XIV's brother. Philip II of Spain was the grandfather of Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV. The relationship is by blood in both cases.
The climax of "The Man in the Iron Mask" occurs when the identity of the masked prisoner is revealed to be the twin brother of King Louis XIV, Philippe. This revelation causes a political crisis as Philippe challenges his brother's rule, leading to a dramatic confrontation between the two siblings.
Only counting the legitimate line: Louis XIV's grandsons were Louis Duke of Burgundy, Philip V of Spain and Charles Duke of Berry, who were the sons of his only son Louis the Dauphin (Crown prince). Sadly, Both the Dauphin and his eldest son the Duke of Burgundy died before Louis XIV, leaving the elderly king's only heir and eventual successor to be his toddler great-grandson Louis Duke of Anjou who ascended as Louis XV when Louis XIV died in 1715. And yes, contrary to popular belief Louis XV is not the son of Louis XIV but rather his great-grandson
