- So, here's what I saw (I'm low ELO, so take this with a grain of salt)
- protects h6 bishop
- threatens g7 pawn, and the knight cannot be taken, then the knight can move to e6, forking the rook and queen
- moving it to d6 could bait a queen take, allowing the pawn on e5 to take
- moving the knight to e3 could bait him into capturing it, allowing you to take the knight back and develop your queen
- it trades knights if he decided to defend with knight to e7
- it protects d4 pawn, which if taken by black's queen, could check you
How is that knight move a brilliant move?

Can't find any reason apart from it is attacking the kingside. Someone explain?
The definition of brilliant move on chess.com is a sacrifice that works, more or less. It might be a little more complicated, but that is more or less it. This move is in line with that definition.
