It can't, you are applying the diff between revision 15 and revision
15. There is no diff => no change in your local copy.

No, revisions are global to the repository. If the start revision is 5
and users are commiting 11 times, the last revision is 16.

Exports ? with svn export ?

If the last revision is 15, and if you want to bring trunk's changes
on the branch, execute this command an a branch working copy :

svn merge -r 5:15 file:///var/subversion/myproject/trunk

Svn will apply on the working copy, the changes commited on trunk
between revisions 5 and 15

I think you should read this doc :
