What is the relationship with brightness and distance with stars?
Other things being equal, if a star is farther away, it will look less bright. This is the same with any light - if you move farther away from the light, it looks less bright.
What is the name of one of the brightest stars?
The Sun. Yes, but apart from the Sun, what's the brightest? The answer is "Sirius". This is apparent brightness. There are a lot of brighter stars, but they are farther away.
Why are other stars not bright like the sun?
The other stars do not appear as bright as the sun because they are much farther away. Even the closest stars apart from the sun are hundreds of thousands of times farther away. In terms of actual brightness, some stars are brighter than the sun.
Why must astronmers figure out a star's distance to calculate it's actual brightness?
For the same real brightness, at a larger distance it would look less bright. On the other hand, you may have two stars that look like they are the same brightness, but one might be million times brighter (in real brightness) than the other - which would be compensated by the fact that the brighter star is a thousand times farther away.

Is the closer a star is to earth the brighter it is?
Yes. A star that is closer to us will appear brighter than if it were farther away. However, stars also vary in their actual brightness, so how bright a star appears depends on both how far away it is and how bright really it is.
