I just can't figure out what he was attempting at the wall? Maybe taking out aemon? But why he's an old blind man and no threat to anyone. I just don't get it

I don't think he was ever planning on getting all the way to the Wall. I see the main argument for the Aemon theory is that Jaqen is in Oldtown which is where Aemon was headed. But Jaqen was in Oldtown at the beginning of Feast/Dance, really far from the Wall and well south of Harrenhal, when Aemon was just being ordered to travel there. So unless the Faceless Men could teleport, I don't think Jaqen ever intended going all the way to the Wall. He headed south when he should have been going north.
