The only thing about taking the PC is that any accounts that have 2 factor authentication(I think that's basically every bank), will likely require a new code if you move it to a different IP address. If your father can provide those codes to you, I'd say just take the computer when your brother isn't around.
You may also want to try adult protective services since your brother seems not to be able to care for himself and is in a bad living situation. They probably aren't equipped for immediate help, but at least they'll be staffed with empathetic people who will know more about your local services.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I wish I had more specific advice to give you.
I hesitate to write this last bit, but I wish someone had told me when my father got sick and I was the child that had to handle everything:
You're doing the right thing and you're a good person for doing it, but take care of yourself as well. There may end up being times when you need to step back for your own health and mental well being, if so, you're not a bad person. You can't help anyone else if you destroy yourself.
Be extremely careful if you decide to involve police for a wellness check. I was on the receiving end of a wellness check once and they treated me like a threat and a violent criminal the entire time, and my issue was extreme depression, I was not experiencing any delusions. They would not let me out of their sight once inside, and initially threatened to break down my door as I was getting dressed and kennelling my dog to let them in (took 60 seconds or so).
It does sound like external intervention is warranted at this point though, if you are able to find an alternative group to help you with this, please do.
