Nesting of meta-data tags in schema
How can I nest my Sub-Brand tags in my Brand tags and restrict the options in dialogue box for sub-brand tag based on the tags nested under that particular brand tag

You can customize this via CRX/DE by adding rootPath and optionPath and setting them both equal to /content/cq:tags/YourStartingTagNode on the metadata field under /conf. This will prevent your ability to configure the metadata schema via the WYSIWYG metadata editor (if you do change in the editor, it will remove this customization), but it will meet your requirement.
Hope this helps,
