1) Is it possible that my brother was never an INTJ to start with, but locked his true emotions in and he's actually and INFJ/INFP/INTP or something?
No, if he has locked his emotions up, he is still very much an INTJ. Remember, INTJ's have Fi, so the capacity to feel deeply is there. Our problem is in expression. We don't typically flaunt our emotions, even if we feel them. However, NF's seem to have an ability to bring our emotional side out of us, as this girl has done. I think his obsessive love towards her is well within an INTJ's capability.

2) Have you (as an INTJ) ever fallen this hard for someone? He's basically a lovesick puppy right now, behaving as if he can't live without her etc, he missed her so much when she went on holiday that he cried...
I also believe this. The last time I was deeply in love, I remember crying at the prospect that girl seemed to like me (which she didn't, but that's a different story). I remember feeling great elation and hope that she was the one. I haven't felt anything like that again, though there have been other crushes since then. Whatever the case is, I believe your brother's experience is not unusual for an INTJ.
