Yep, I think the tower is just for show.
How 'badly' did Branwen die? I think sometimes if they explode their stuff goes too - but wait, you said you raised her, so she can't have been too bad. Hmm, I don't know...
As for good NPCs - have you met Ajantis yet? He's a Paladin so Lawful Good natch'. He's in the area North of the Friendly Arm where they have the Ankheg hunt. There's also Yeslick a fighter/cleric imprisoned at the bottom of the Cloakwood Mine. I think he was good.
I think there are some good NPCs inside the city of Baldur's Gate, but I never used any of them in my party so I'm not sure of their alignment.
