No, she would be your great niece, making her a cousin to your daughter. She wont be a first cousin though, I think it may make them second cousins but I could be wrong on that bit.
your brother's child would be your child's first cousin. Therefore your brother's grandchild would be your child's first cousin once removed ( the remove refers to generation gap)
Your grandchild would be second cousin to your brother's grandchild.
Took our family ages to work it out!!
An easy way to remember this (should you ever need to!):

Cousins (�unremoved�) are of the same generation. First cousins share common grandparents; second cousins share common great-grandparents; third cousins common great-great-grandparents, etc. So this puts the successive cousins wider apart but at the same generation level in a family tree.

As naomicorlett suggests, �removal� refers to differing generations. So your �second cousin once removed� is your second cousin�s child.
