前者の文章は、
That's the hospital.とMy brother was born in the hospital.が関係詞によって繋げられたものです。
何種類か回答があります。
①That's the hospital which my brother was born in .
②That's the hospital in which my brother was born .
③That's the hospital where my brother was born .
まず、①は1番基本の形。
次に、②はborn in のinが前に出てきた形。
そして最後に、③はin whichをwhereに書き換えた形になります。
つまり、where=in whichと言えます。

同じように後者の文も考えると、
①I went to a small village in France , which I stayed in for two months.
②I went to a small village in France , in which I stayed for two months.
③I went to a small village in France , where I stayed for two months.
の3種類が出来ますよね。
