My first question, and I suppose also the case worker's first question would be, why did he not come to the UK under a a Family Permit in the first place? FP is free, student visas are expensive.

According to eligibility criteria here: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-resid ... ligibility
If he was, and still is, dependent on his brother before coming to the UK, he's eligible to apply, as an extended family member. However, please note that extended family members do not have the automatic right to a residence card (as opposed to direct family members, such as spouses or children), and each case is treated individually.

if refused will it effect his tier 4 visa?

I do not know.
