Thanks a lot.

For the first sentence, your first variant is perfect! The second one is not technically wrong, but using "to be" seems a little extraneous...
For your second sentence, here is my proposal: My brother was sent home by Peter. I think it is better to leave out the "to" in "sent to home."
