Ex-partie divorce can be obtained.
Re: 498a and mutual divorce
You may need to first arrive at a settlement with her; she may obtain ex parte divorce on the basis of that settlement; and may withdraw her complaint/charges. You may thereafter approach the High Court, if required, for quashing of FIR / criminal proceedings.
Re: 498a and mutual divorce
I believe both the parties should mutually agree on the manner of signing the documents i.e withdrawal of case and signing of Khula papers. You can consider sitting across the table and executing the documents.
However, I fail to understand that how are you going to obtain divorce without your brother presence.

for divorce both parties are necessary
Re: 498a and mutual divorce
1. Offence U/s.498A is not compoundable and hence can not be withdrawn by your sisinlaw.
2. Divorce is mainly governed by personal law. Generally, a decree of divorce is advisable. Private divorce paper may not serve the purpose.
