This is a difficult spot for you to be in. You love and care for your brother , but this need not be at the cost of your happiness.

Also, your brother needs psychotherapy as he is experiencing intense separation anxiety as this girl may go away from him. He can be helped with emotion management and regulation, which will require regular sessions.

Hi, your brother seems to have built an emotional dependence on the girl who was there for him in his darkest hour. It is unhealthy to stop the girl from moving on with her life because he wants the emotional supply to continue and therefore he is now insisting that you get married to the girl.
Next Steps
Your said your brother has attempted suicide in the past. He needs to meet a psychologist especially someone specialising in DBT. If he is actively suicidal, you may consider hospitalization and psychiatric care.
