Do I need to open a bank account in Brazil to be a partner or invest here?

In most cases, yes. The company usually needs a Brazilian account to receive, pay, and move money. For an individual investor, the account helps with receiving profits and organizing their financial life here. Banks require a CPF (individual taxpayer ID) and often a representative in the country. This varies from bank to bank. TF inter guides clients from the Americas on which documents to bring and how to prepare for that conversation with the bank. We don't open the account for you, but we get everything ready so the bank says yes.
