Since 'hvor' is 'where', would 'hvorfor' be similar to 'wherefore', which was early modern English for 'why' (such as in Romeo and Juliet: "wherefore art thou Romeo")

It's because "det" is used, which is neuter. The adjective follows its gender, hence it's brunt, and not brun.
If you say "Why are they brown?" it would be "Hvorfor er de brune?"
