It sounds like your brother's chameleon needs to see a vet ASAP from what you are saying about the tongue, color, inactivity and not eating. At that age it should be eating well.
The droppings should consist of a brown (sausage-looking)part with a white part at the end of it and possibly a little almost semi-set jelly like fluid around it. The brown part should not be runny and should not look undigested.
Also...it would be good if you could describe its set-up (lighting, temperatures, etc.), what you feed it (size of insects, etc.), whether you gutload the insects, supplementation you provide for the chameleon, etc. If you are not keeping it properly, this could be part of the problem.
Here are three good sites that have lots of information in them...
