Here are my suggestions/agreements/corrections:

1 What country is the brand of/from? FROM (Correct.)

2 This clothing store doesn't have a lot of choice./choices. BOTH (Correct.)

3 What is that for?/What is that used for? USED is redundant (Not necessarily. "What is that for" is somewhat vague. It could mean: What is its purpose? Why did you bring that? Etc. So either is correct.)

4 I'm pretty sure not a lot of people buy clothes from here./pretty sure very little people buy clothes from here. Not sure (Not a lot of or very few. Little is used for size; few for number.)

5 Its less expensive here than in the city. / Its the least expensive place of/in the city. First is OK 2nd "IN" (Correct, but use it's not its. Its is possessive; it's is a shortened form of "it is.")

6 What's the age minimum to be allowed into a retirement home./From what age are you allowed into a retirement home? Don't know (Better to rephrase the sentence: What is the minimum age before you are allowed into a retirement home? Or: How old must you be to be allowed into a retirement home?)

Hope this helps.
