He doesn't have to talk to his brother in law to talk to his sister. He can call when the BIL is working. If your sister is working in an office, he can call her there. He can email.
Just tell him to have a relationship with his sister and not try to have one with the BIL.
We don't talk to my sister in law. We call my brother's cell during times we know he isn't home. We call his office, we email him at an office email. My sister in law is a bitch who has a horrible family background and hates that he has a supportive family. This is a woman who didn't tell him when our grandmother died and had I not found the office number and reached him at the last minute, he would not have been to her funeral. We simply try very hard not to be in the same place with her and to see him separately.
Your brother can do the same. But I wouldn't tell him to grow up. I would tell him that his 2 year old nephew misses him, and can't he arrange to visit at a time when the BIL isn't there. The kids can be the bridge needed to get the siblings together.
And kudos to you for getting everyone to call your grandmother weekly.
