This is my read on Tommy's behavior, too. He's being protective of his little sister because he actually cares about her.Looks like he's off to have some "choice words" with young Oliver...
Tommy's a dick, so he's done shit in the past that's annoyed Josy, and she ratted him out on the nail polish and shit in the past, but ultimately he sees her as his sister and doesn't enjoy seeing her in the shenanigans of the frat and sorority (and it makes him feel uncomfortable with her seeing him). And he doesn't like to see dudes sleazing on to her.
Sure, when he tells the mc to look out for her he chalks it up to not wanting someone going around saying he's fucked Tommy's sister, but if that was all it was, Oscar struck out, and possibly got a black eye from the mc, so there's no need to Tommy to go after him, unless he cares about the fact that Oscar was harassing Josy in the first place.
It's interesting that Tommy goes off to sort Oscar out regardless of whether Josy booted him in the balls just a few weeks back.
So yeah, I don't see anything sexual in their relationship, it's just a big brother who feels obliged to concern himself with his sister's wellbeing, even if he finds it annoying.
Edit:
Also, bear in mind that this is a coming-of-age story. The characters should show some growth throughout the story. Tommy has been an immature dick in the past, and frequently still is, but he has also shown several signs of growing up over the past few episodes.
