Can this trope be applied to characters who worship a non-relative Big Brother Mentor, or is this strictly for "real" siblings only? For example Konohamaru from Naruto and Ahsoka from Star Wars The Clone Wars are idolizing their older brother-figures Naruto and Anakin respectively. Do they count?

I don't know about the first one, but I'm pretty sure the Clone Wars example doesn't count because Anakin and Ahsoka are Teacher and Student, not siblings.

Yes they're, but they're also as close as siblings. Even Word of God explicitly described their relationship as a "big brother and younger sister" in numerous interviews.

* Charlie, the youngest of the Velociraptor pack in Jurassic World, will often follow whatever Blue does because she admires her eldest sister. She even apparently offers up some of her meals to feed Blue.
This is badly worded to begin with (how can a dinosaur "admire"?), but is this really an example? The dinosaurs were basically just acting as pack animals do (they were even named "alpha", "beta" etc. IIRC which references this), which means one is at the top. And are they even brothers/sisters of each other? Them being genetically engineered and bred by humans, that's a stretch.
