あなたって
って can be used as a colloquial form of （の）は
But it has some other uses and can't be used in this way all of the time.
So I believe this is like あなたは

I would have thought from the romaji that it is お + 待ってた + より...
It doesn't really make sense to me.
I can only think of より as a comparative.
Edit:
Unless you mis-spelled it and meant 思ってたより? （お
もってたより）
in which case it would mean 'Than I thought'
eg: 思ってたより高いなぁ - (It's more) expensive
than I thought
/End Edit

勇敢 means 'brave'
Putting な on the end doesn't turn it into an adjective because it already is one.
The な just allows you to connect it to nouns.
