Yes, you have mild pulmonary hypertension which results in mild tricuspid regurgitation and mildly enlarged right atrium.

No it usually makes no sound. It may look a bit like it. Discuss with your Echo Dr as they have seen it and can interpret it. May cases of dilated cardiomyopathy are due to unrecognized high BP. You and brother should ask about 24 hr BP studies.
