If I play Brann and then a minion with a Battlecry in the same turn, will the minion's Battlecry activate twice? I was playing and this didn't seem to work, which made me wonder if Brann has to be on the board from a previous turn (ie doesn't have the zzZZ exhaustion).

Yes the double Battlecry Effect will trigger the same turn. You can see some examples in this youtube video. Also by personal experience i can vouch for that.
There are some Battlecrys which cannot be "doubled" i.e. Big Game Hunter will not allow you to destroy two minions. However Samthere pointed out in the comment below
It's not that BGH doesn't trigger twice, it's that a doubled player-targeted battlecry uses the same target for both effects. For example, Shattered Sun Cleric will end up giving a minion +2/+2. However, Hungry Crab targets. destroying only one murloc in the end, but will get +4/+4 for itself
Feel free to leave a comment so we can clear out what happend when you played.
2Yes, Brann will still work. Like every other ability in the game, Brann's ability still works while he has summoning sickness. There are two possibilities as to why Brann didn't work.
The first and most likely is that Brann only causes the battlecry to trigger twice. It doesn't allow you to select a new target for the second trigger so targeted battlecries will hit the same minion. This might be useful e.g. Abusive Sargent, or might have no additional effect e.g. Big Game Hunter. This can also apply to random target minions such as Stampeding Kodo- due to the order of effects, it can hit the same minion twice.
The second is that the minion didn't actually have Battlecry. Combo and Choose One minion abilities are similar to battlecries but for Brann's ability they are not.
