No, Indian applicants are not allowed to apply for multiple Brown University UG courses together. These students should submit one application via the Common App.
Technically, it is not even possible as the students are admitted to a College and not a program.
Although the students have the option to change their specialisation later when admitted.

Yes, the Early Decision is binding for all students including Indians. It means that if a student is admitted to Brown via the ED path, then they are committed to this university only.
The students then have to withdraw all applications from other colleges. Also, 100% financial aid is offered for all UG students if they are able to show financial need.

Brown Uni USA does not have a separate deadline to apply for scholarships. Indian students can apply for financial aid at the same time as they apply for admission (Nov 1 - Early Decision & Feb 1 - Regular Decision).
However, for external scholarships in USA, the deadlines are different for each financial aid.

No, for most of Brown University courses, there are fixed deadlines (for ED, it's Nov 1 each year) at Brown rather than a rolling model.
Although some master's programs use a mix of priority deadlines and rolling admissions.
Early applications are encouraged for international students.
