Nowadays there is not an expressive number of organized, militant communists (compared to the whole population), even though these numbers grew larger in the last few years. We have a couple of legal communist and socialist parties, that are not very expressive in elections so far.
In short. Even though the last few years communism and the radical left grew expressively compared to its previous size, it hasn't grown enough to actually threat the status quo (yet)
Hmmm tricky question, I will say yes, but they have very little polítical power as the majority of the population seems to have an aversion to the word comunism, despite many benefiting from "communist" policies and having some of their ideals
Hm... tricky question. I would say the "political center" is more to the left here in Brazil than it is in NA and people who already leant left are leaning more and more these last few years, but still not enough people to make a dent in institutional politics.
That said, you won't find many people that identify as "communists", even if they support left-wing politics and vote for left-wing candidates. The new red scare has hit us as hard as any other place in the world.
