The brightest star that is not the sun is Sirus. Sirus is a 1st magnitude star. Sirus is 8.7 light years away from Earth, which is not to far away(for a star at least). Sirus is obviously not too big but is very bright and close to Earth! Sirus is in the constellation Canis Major, which in English means "Big Dog".
The planet Venus is known as the "bright wandering star" because it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and is often mistaken for a star. Venus is typically visible in the morning or evening sky and can appear brighter than any other celestial object, except for the sun and the moon.
The brightest type of star is a type "O" star or hypergiant, whose luminosity is greater than 30,000 Suns.
The brightest star, after our own Sun, is Sirius. While only 25 time more luminous than our own Sun, it is the closeness to Earth that makes it so bright.
There is no real answer to this question.
Brightness (Apparent magnitude) is a function of luminosity and distance.
So a very luminous star 500 light years away will not be as bright as a dim star a light year away.
From the same vantage point (Absolute magnitude) then a hotter star will be brighter.
See related question for the difference between apparent and absolute magnitude.

Why is Mercury called a Wandering Star?
Mercury is called a "wandering star" because, being one of the five visible planets to the naked eye, it appears to move across the sky in a wandering path, unlike the fixed stars that maintain their positions relative to each other. This wandering motion was observed by ancient astronomers and led to the classification of Mercury as a "wandering star".
