You have to transfer the "license" to play the maps that you downloaded from one account to the other...there is a tutorial if you get on your xbox and got to the xbox 101 video section

You might have to use the license transfer tool. Map purchases are tied to two things, the original console that bought them, and the gamertag that bought them. If you have a new console and a new tag, they probably won't work until you use the license transfer tool to move all your purchases to the new box/account.

See here

If you have purchased them on your box, then no, he will not have to buy them.

I used to have this problem, i would just sign on my brothers account along with mine. After i started up H3 and got in the lobby i would sign his account out and it let me use the maps.

Try this

If his account and the content is on the same xbox, no.

Well you can recover his old gamertag that had the purchased maps onto your console. Then when that is finished you can go to your download history and download the maps he had already bought. The only fall back with this is that the gt that originally purchased the maps must be logged in.

No he won't.

Well to have them playable the licensed account needs to be active. If it's not it won't be able to play because the system doesn't have the license to the purchased content. That is if he doesn't want to transfer all of his purchased content with the license transfer tool.

If your brother is playing on your xbox, then he doesn't have to do anything to get the new maps. As long as they are downloaded to your xbox, any one on that particular xbox can play on the maps.
