In his soliloquy at the beginning of Act 2, Brutus grapples with the moral implications of assassinating Julius Caesar. He expresses his internal conflict, weighing his love for Caesar against his fear of tyranny and the potential for Caesar's rise to absolute power. This speech reveals Brutus's noble intentions and rationality, setting the stage for the ethical dilemma that drives the play's central conflict. Ultimately, it highlights his tragic flaw: the belief that he can act for the greater good without fully considering the consequences.
No, it's more like he is deciding out loud whether to kill Caesar or not.

If you take the trouble to read it, this soliloquy, which starts with the sentence "It must be by his death" and ends with "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, and kill him in the shell" twice names the person it concerns. It does not name any other person. Get out your copy of the play, find the soliloquy and look for the names Caesar, Antony, Lucius (that's the servant) and Portia (that's Brutus's wife).

Brutus is arguing with himself about assasinating Caesar. He argues that if Caesar is given greater power (by being crowned) he might get all arrogant and tyrranical. Of course, he argues against himself, Caesar has never abused his power before "I have not known when his affections sway'd More than his reason", but who knows? "So Caesar may, and lest he may, prevent." Brutus is arguing for a preemptive strike here. This like every other preemptive strike in the history of the world is immoral and evil. By allowing himself to buy this argument, he sets the stage for his own downfall.
Anthony tricks Brutus into letting him give a soliloquy at Caesar's funeral. He uses the opportunity to sarcastically implicate Brutus and Cassius in Caesar's murder. He says that Brutus considered Caesar "ambitious" using his speech to use Brutus' own words against him.
