Valves for brass instruments weren't developed until around the year 1800.
Most brass instruments use valves. The trumpet, tuba, baritone, and french horn all have valves to change the length of the tubing. The trombone and bugle are two common brass instruments that do not have valves.
Brass instruments, like most instruments, can be used for almost anything! They are most commonly used for bands and orchestras though. Trumpets and bugles, both types of brass instruments, also have a long histories of use in the military. Today, brass instruments are often taught in school bands, and can be used to teach the foundations of music!
No it's not. Most horns started out like the old long horns you see in cartoons. They used the length of the horn to get a particular pitch. they eventually curled up like the french horn. They added valves in I am not a brass major. You should probably ask a musicologist that is a little more knowledgable than I.

The only common thing between all brass instruments are that they are made of at least half brass and they all need a mouth piece. There is also the same breathing techniques, though they can differ. For example, the theory that everything that is played is a long tone. Please note that I am not counting woodwind instruments, like saxophone, as brass instruments. If I did so there would be nothing in common with all brass instruments. I hope this helped!

The tubing on the brass instruments is curved to get a long tube into a short length.
If brass instruments were straightened out, their length would be anywhere from 8 to 25 feet.

The tubing wraps around the way it does because if it was all one straight line, the horns would be too long to play.
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.
The trumpet was used as long ago as 1500 BCE. It is one of the oldest musical instruments in the brass family.
The low-pitched range is the tone that describes types of tones brass instruments produce. Requiring a long air column or string usually, to produce low pitches, the largest instruments in their families or instrument classes are the string and wind bass instruments.
Valves, tuning slide, and spit valves.
