Will the Switch do well in Brazil?

No, I don't think it would. Physical sales, even buying through the internet, you can easily find them for around 300 to 350 BRL.

Where? I browser games on Mercado Livre every week. Good Luck finding Animal Crossing for less than 400 BRL there, or Mario Kart 8 or BOTW for less than 380

I only find games for 300 BRL on very obscure Facebook selling groups. Maybe minor game releases like Astral Chain we can find for 320-340 BRL, but really big blockbusters? 

As for eshop, Switch is not Steam, its shop is not region lock, that's the problem. If they go aggressive on pricing digital store (let's say 200 BRL) they will register a much more massive loss because elsewhere people will just change their regional eshop to buy in BR eshop 

Errr I don't think region lock will be really necessary. Considering current dollar exchange ratio we can buy PSN full titles from about 270 (49USD and there wouldn't be the 15% tax like USA that makes the game 69USD) and if you buy physical you can find for 220-250 if you wait couple days, because those grey shop buy what Sony prints and ships to Paraguay without taxes and then sell in Brazil for lower than MSRP.
