Yes the lessor has to include the clause authorising his POA holder to lease/rent the premises, he can also execute a SPA for this purpose.

Yes, the owner has to execute a fresh POA (GPA or SPA).
He has to get it attested by a officer of Indian Embassy at Saudi Arabia.
Then it has to be adjudicated in Registrar's office, if it empowers the claimant to execute deeds and documents which needs compulsory registration.
Then your brother can enter into rental/ lease agreement.
