branches and subdirectories

Can a branch have sibling directories? In other words, they are on the
same level in a greater directory structure, and the branch should not
include their parent dir.

Branches are just a convention.  As far as Subversion is concerned, they 
are directories like any other.

The convention is usually that each branch contains a full copy of the 
trunk, but there's no need to enforce that.  In many cases you could 
copy only some of it, which I think is what you want.  If not, hopefully 
someone else will better understand your question!
