Must a divorced woman see her daughter in her ex-husband's house, given the presence of her ex-husband's brother in the same house, even though her current husband is a mahram to her daughter and fears God?

You have the right to see your daughter, and her father must bring her to a place where you can see her.
If you can go to your ex-husband’s house to see your daughter without embarrassment, then do so. You can take precautions by having his brother present in the house, and reach an understanding with your ex-husband – through sensible intermediaries – that he occasionally brings the girl to you, or that you visit her.
The court is the competent authority to rule on these disputes, and its ruling cannot be overturned if it is based on strong evidence.
