Is this the correct bulb??
I brought the old tail light bulb from my '62 Dream 305 to Advance Auto and they gave me a Sylvania 1157 which says 12.8/14V 27/8.3W Will that work?

The brake light ( the brightening you describe) only works on the foot brake pedal. There is no brake switch for handlebar lever. What you are describing is correct operation.
I think that you are agonising far too much - just go out and ride the thing.......
