In this sentence who is a question word. The speaker wants to know which person is sitting in a certain place.
Now look at these sentences to see the difference between who and whom:

Whom have spoken to?
Whom does this bag belong to?
That's the woman with whom we went to Brazil.

Hi,

I understood this sentence as:

"That's the woman with the person we went with him to Brazil" ...did I understand it well?

"whom" is usually found with a preposition:

to whom
for whom
under whom
with whom

I'm not going to look this up, but is the difference between "who" and "whom" simply this:

Who = subject
Whom = direct object

?

You understood badly, Fooz. Wink

The meaning of the sentence is basically a combination of these two shorter sentences:
That's the woman. We went to Brazil with her.
