My recommendation is not to seek advice from anonymous people on a chatboard and instead to pay for an hour of an immigration attorney’s time, either here in the US or Brasil. Just my $0.02 worth of advice.
I would phone or make an appointment at the nearest Brazilian Consulate and obtain the information you need for your planned retirement in Brazil.

Like others have mentioned above, getting a lawyer who’s has a focus on retirement abroad is probably the best way to plan and protect yourself.
Plus if you don’t get citizenship, I would say you are always at the mercy of political changes in a country. No one can 100% predict what will happen in a few years.

Still talking to lawyer/accountant about the legal and tax up and down side might be a good thing.
