Samba's Brazilian as is the Lambada. Salsa definitely isn't Brazilian.

No. Salsa music is a fusion of traditional African and Cuban and other Latin-American rhythms that traveled from the islands (Cuba and Puerto Rico) to New York during the migration, somewhere between the 1940s and the 1970s, depending on where one puts the boundary between "real" salsa and its predecessors. There is debate as to whether Salsa originated in Cuba or Puerto Rico. Salsa is one of the main dances in both Cuba and Puerto Rico and is known world-wide. The dance steps currently being danced to salsa music come from the Cuban son, but were influenced by many other Cuban dances such as Mambo, Chá, Guaracha, ChanguÃ, LukumÃ, Palo Montel, Rumba, Yambú, Abakuá, Comparsa and some times even Mozambique.

No, salsa is really from New York. It incorporates a lot of mambo and bits of a few other latin dances, so its roots are primarily Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Mexican, with minor influences as well from Columbia and Haiti, just to name some.
Brasil has samba and its child, bossa nova, so don't feel the country's being left out. It has its own thing.
