Not joining the jamaat Salaah

Q: This weekend I was out musafir for a few days with a few friends. We came to a masjid to perform salaah. Two friends we finished making wuduh and the third was still making wuduh so the two of us decided to start our farad thinking the 3rd brother will join us. Our first rakat was almost finished when the third brother finished his wudu. The brother didn't join us but performed his salah on his own. When asked why he didn't join us he said because we didn't wait for him. Is this brother sinful for doing that?

How to determine the boundaries of a locality

Q: In beheshti zewar, in the chapter of salaah on a journey, mention is made that if the azaan from one place cannot be heard in another place, then they are regarded as two places, for the purpose of the musafir if he spends 10 days in each place, he would still be a musafir. Does this still apply today when determining where are boundaries? Or does one look at the municipal boundaries between suburbs and localities?
