Have I translated my American English to Dutch correctly?
My brother buys our father that brand of coffee at Walmart every month.
= Mijn broer koopt dat merk koffie voor onze vader elke maand bij Walmart.

Yes, this is absolutely fine! The only thing you can change is the order of the words. For an even better flow, you can say:
Mijn broer koopt dat koffiemerk elke maand bij Walmart.
Saying 'dat koffiemerk' instead of 'dat merk koffie' also makes it even better.
This is a very precise correction though which will make it sound more 'native'. Your original sentence is not wrong :)
