The half-brother cannot disinheit anyone outside of his own heirs. The father would be the one to disinherit someone in his will.

That depends on his divorce decree. At the very least, you would get the 50% interest. But a probate lawyer would need to review the divorce decree to know with 100% certainty who gets what.

Possibly, but that would depend on whether the power of attorney gives the power of gifting any part of the estate.

The will should state what happens to your sibling's share. You should have it reviewed by a lawyer to verify.

It's not ideal to have two independent executors of your estate because they can each act independently of each other - devising assets away without notifying the other executor.
