Let's suppose I declare two attackers: Boros Elite and Brimaz. I put the Brimaz trigger on the stack, and it resolves, putting a 1/1 token into play attacking. Does this then trigger the Battalion ability from Boros Elite?
No, the Boros Elite was already declared as an attacker and only saw one other creature doing the same. The token enters too late to count for battalion.

No. You have to declare Boros Elite and two or more attackers along with it for Battalion to trigger. The verb "to attack" means "is declared as an attacker"; these abilities can only trigger from the turn-based action of declaring attackers as the declare attackers step begins, and creatures that are put into play attacking never count.

No, because when you declared attackers, you only declared two creatures as attackers. When a triggered ability would trigger "when ~ attacks...", it means "when ~ is declared as an attacker...". The token that is created from Brimaz's ability is not declared as an attacker, it is simply put onto the battlefield as an attacker. Additionally, even if that token was declared as an attacker, the triggering condition has already passed by the time the token is put into play.
