We are always trying to get BIL to go out within us when we are back home, so we legitimately were happy we thought there was a mutual friend there. Other guy is fairly social and knows everyone, friends with tons of people, so it wouldn't be weird at all for him to know her in this smallish town.
I understand what those are saying about him being dramatic about telling BIL. I'd say he has a strong sense of righteousness, more than a desire for drama. He is definitely not jealous or lashing out, we've known this guy for 8+ years. No problems getting women and just not his style. I agree it could have waited a day... But as I said, we decided to step out of it and let him talk directly to BIL. They both live in the same small hometown, know tons of people, etc. - - so not weird for him to reach out to BIL.
Don’t blame this on being a small town. It’s weird. Dramatic and immature.

This. He calls the Brother on Thanksgiving Day and wants to stir up crap with boyfriend of an Ex....he is trying to sabotage the girlfriend’s relationship because she left him.

You are making huge assumptions here. You do not know that the guy was whining or looking to cause trouble. For all you know, he was having dinner with OP and her husband, and they said "oh, you said you were seeing someone over the summer, how's that going?" He tells them a bit about the relationship, and that it's ended, and her name gets mentioned. OP and hubby recognize the name and go "oh sh*t, she was dating BIL at the same time."
