Most, if not all, Brazilians can understand Spanish fairly well. Most, when they try to speak Spanish, it doesn't sound that great and can be a little difficult to understand. I have met Brazilians and Portuguese people who speak Spanish with little or no accent. I had some Brazilian guy come into my office a couple weeks ago and it took me a few minutes to even realize that Spanish wasn't his first language. Very impressive.
That's a relief to know, because if I ever find myself in Brazil, I can probably get by with my intermediate Spanish and my handy google-translate app without having to deal with that tricky Portuguese pronunciation.
