The English spelling is Brazil. The Portuguese spelling is Brasil. Either is correct, depending on what language you're writing in.

It is both. Brazil is the English way of spelling it, and Brasil is the way Portuguese or Spanish speaking people spell it.

Both are correct. Brazil is the name of the country, but since most of the people there speak Porteguese, they call it Brasil. Again, both are correct.
