My question is does the player from the winner's bracket win the whole thing if by winning the first game of the 2 out of 3, since that would be the second game tlost by the player from the loser's bracket.

Yes.

In other words, does the player from the winner's bracket merely have to win one of the next four games played to win the whole thing?

There isn't 4 games to play. What happens when you have the last 2 players, one player has already lost a game, that is the player from the losing side. Hence he only has to lose 1 more game to get elimanated. At the very most, 2 games would be played not 4.
