General Is this man predatory towards me?

That is difficult since you say it usually results in a fight, but it also seems like this guy is able to get away with it because people don't want to cause a fight. I would talk to your brother and ask him if he would stand with your husband to confront him. If you are going to be around him more, there is a chance his behavior could escalate and not telling your husband may no longer be a choice if this happens. So talk to your brother about being prepared for the possibility of one day having to tell your husband so that neither your husband or brother have to confront him alone.

Next time he calls you by your first name, correct and say "it's Mrs. <your last name>" While it is less of a big deal in the U.S. now, we used to have a similar cultural rule where it was considered rude to address a stranger or aqauintence by their first name, and children almost always were required to call adults Mr. or Mrs. <last name> So, I can understand why you would it would bother you.

Always trust your gut instinct.

When I was at Uni there was one lecturer who gave me the creeps even though he had never spoken to me directly. One day I was in the elevator alone and the doors opened and someone got in. Even though I had my head down in a book, I instantly felt so uneasy that I jumped out before the doors closed. I looked back and the person who had got in was this lecturer. Years later, after I had left Uni, he was fired for sexually harassing many students and even other staff.
 
Backstory: I am from another culture so some of the things I am going to describe may sound odd or ol...

What's the difference in your age?

It sounds like he -definitely- flirting, and edging on being inappropriate. If he's made you feel uncomfortable for years now, it doesn't matter his intentions, really. But you said you would be seeing him more in the future.. What did you mean by this?
