I would have said same school that your brother did or same school your brother did , but as your brother did is okay. The last one should be ... man my sister did .

The last one should be ... man that my sister did or just ...man my sister did.
Otherwise, they are fine.

Thank you Calijim,
Can I also say " She loved the man whom my sister did"?
Why I cannot say " the same man"?

Take the ellipsis dots ... in my previous post to include "same". You can say "same man", yes.
You can also say "whom" with or without "same", yes. However, native speakers tend to avoid the word "whom" in informal contexts.
