Cool! I have 2 ten gallons in my room. Maybe a few platies in your brothers tank? Maybe a female and a few males so that when they mate the betta has some good live food =D

Corys and otos are generally the safest bet to keep with bettas. Plus they are functional, as corys would keep the substrate clean of uneaten foods and otos would keep some types of algae at bay.
Either a few corycats or a few kuhli loaches would work.
Platys work for some bettas but one of mine kills platys..sooo.

Usually any small docile bottom feeder should be fine. I would stay away from colorful or long tailed fish though. Bettas usually see them as competition. If you want to chance a platy I would have a backup plan in case either the betta or the platy decide to attack each other.
Eh. The only problem I come up with is that the non-schoolers that are about as large as a betta are also about as territorial as a betta.
Other than a pleco I can't think of any non-schooling fish that would work with a betta.
Maybe some kind of killifish but they're not medium sized for the most part, they're small. There are some that get a few inches long but you'd have trouble finding them as most fish stores don't even stock killis, but you could look around.
There are killifish clubs everywhere, maybe you could find one and they'll have what you're looking for.
