Well, I grew up in Brazoria, and still have several friends in the area. Sweeny is right next door. There are places to eat there, but much of the other you asked about you will go to Lake Jackson for. Actually, Angleton also has a lot of that now, but I think Lake Jackson is a little bigger. It's not very far to drive there from Sweeny. Maybe 20-30 minutes. Sweeny is a very small town so you won't have culture shock as far as that goes. There is still lots of farming in that entire area. It's very green there too.
The people are friendly, so don't think you'd have any problems meeting people and as far as I know, the schools are decent. There's a lot of old Texas History in the Brazoria County area with Stephen F. Austins original settlers, Old Plantation homes and the Brazos River. You'll hear a lot about Washington-on-the-Brazos, as this area was a Capital town at one time in the early days.
Also, in line with things to do. Lake Jackson/Freeport has an aquarium. And you could go to the beach at Surfside or Quintana.
