First of all restraining orders aren't so easy to get. As an attorney, you should either know that or know where to find information on it. We can't go around calling the cops and asking them to put a restraining order on someone with whom we've have nasty arguments.
What is "hate mail"? Vicious words? More arguing? Telling you to stay away from your bro? You didn't mention that she ever threatened you, your life, your property, nor did you mention that she showed up at your doorstep and assaulted or attempted to assualt you. Cops don't go around issuing restraining order for family members who fight like cats and dogs over differing social beliefs. Unless you've got something solid that she did to actually harm your person or property, and can prove it, the cops aren't going to slap a restraining order on her based on some alleged facts that you report to them.
Secondly, the part of your post that jumped out at me like a red flag was the part about your supposed black/gay friend. You say she found out before the event about his race and sexual orientation. It feels like you fabricated the story of this "friend" (who you knew she would disapprove of, not on one count, but two), and told her you were going to bring him to her party, just to piss her off and start a shit storm so you could pursue whatever your agenda is with your brother.
As far as the checks go, change your bank account. And if you feel she is harming your brother, who may be mentally disabled, call social services. The rest is all unecessary drama and stress that you are bringing on yourself.
