H2-B for a Recent Retiree

(Note. I earlier posted this on B-1 forum but I am now thinking that my brother probably needs H2-B).

My brother has retired from a big reputable public sector company in India 2 years ago. He has just got a consultancy offer with a reputable big company in US. Most of his consulting work will be provided from his home in India through phone and email but the company requires short visits to their US facilities (say one month or less) from time to time. My brother has strong ties in India including grown up children and a recently built house, and has no intention of moving to USA what so ever (I am his only close relative here and I am a US citizen). He is excited to get this offer but worried that he may be denied H2-B due to his age (early sixties).

1. Is there any need to worry in this situation?
2. What documents will be needed for petition. Should the US company hire an attorney for the filing?
3. Is H2-B subject to the same quotas as H1-B?
