I bought on Steam both XCOM Enemy Unknown and its expansion Enemy Within. When I launch the game it lets me choose if I want to play Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within.
There is any reason to play without the expansion first?
Should I play Enethe Unknown before Enethe Within

Yes, there is. On the Select Difficulty screen, click the "Advanced Options" button to see a check box for this:
Once the tutorial has started, I don't believe there is any way to skip it besides quitting out and starting the game again.
XCOM does not have a hotseat functionality (2 players, 1 game, 1 computer), and since the PC version runs on steam, you cannot run two instances of the program at once.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is currently a way to play against your brother with only one computer.

Best Answer
You should play Enemy Within.
The expansion simply adds new upgrades, options, mission types, etc. to the base game; the basic story progression does not change. Thus, there's no compelling reason to play Enemy Unknown if you own Enemy Within, unless you really don't like something it adds to the game.
