Yes, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and nitric acid cant "melt" (ie oxidize) both of them. The reaction releases dangerous fumes of nitrogen dioxide and must be performed in a fume hood.
Nitric acid is both an acid and an oxidizer. Acids wont eat brass, but it will eat the oxides formed on its surface, and since nitric acid will oxidize the brass, it will also dissolve it until one reactant or the other is used up.
Only if the acid is above the melting point of copper. However, the copper might dissolve in acid if the acid is oxidizing. If it did, copper ions would be present in the solution formed, but there would not be an metallic copper in it.
HNO3 is Nitric Acid Compare with HNO2 ; Nitrous Acid. Note the difference in the formulas and the names. Accounted for by the different oxidation states of nitrogen .
The IUPAC name for nitric acid is "nitric acid." But its Periodic name is HNO3
Nitric acid is stronger than acetic acid. Nitric acid is a strong acid because it completely dissociates into ions in solution, while acetic acid only partially dissociates. This means that nitric acid can donate protons more readily than acetic acid.

No, it does not
nitric acid is heterogeneous.

Diluted vinegar solution can also be used to clean brass. It can be prepared bymixing one part of vinegar with ten parts of water.
The number of nitric acid molecules is 28,6723.10e23.
Yes, nitric acid is homogeneous.
Nitric acid lead to nitrates.
nitric acid be used insted of hypophrosphous acid
