Since the father and mother each contribute half (23 chromosomes) of the genetic material needed to form a child (46 chromosomes), the brother and sister are equal in terms of biological similarity, no matter if they had a different mother (same father) or father (same mother). However, if any of the father/mother pairs are related, the result is skewed.

If you died would your son be taken away from his step father and step brother and returned to his biological father seeing as legally he is not my husband's baby or does marriage bring rights?

Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.

The mother of your kids died and she left the kids to her brother can you get your kids?

The biological parent is always favored unless there are very good reasons to the contrary. You should consult with an attorney. Children are not property and a person cannot "leave" their children by a will. The court does not have to follow a request made in a will as to guardianship. The biological parent can request custody.
