LEED does not establish a minimum % of the site that has to be considered a Brownfield for a project to be able to achieve this credit.
If a portion of our site (within our LEED Boundary but not where the building sits) has been deemed a brownfield, can we (given compliance with credit requirements) acheive this credit point?

Shannon,
As long as the project site has been deemed a Brownfield, your project is eligible to earn the credit.

And my follow-up question is that if we claim this portion of our site as brownfield, can we tackle SS c5.1 by applying Case 1:greenfield to the portion of the site that is undeveloped and apply Case 2: previously developed to the portion of the site that was deemed a brownfield and remediated?

Yes to Case 1 and Case 2 - if the project can comply with those site conditions specific criteria. (2009 reference guide, pg. 79)
