Even though this is not what I suggested, it appears as if it will work. I don't think bracing the plywood with the studs will do you any good, the weight of the TV coming through the wall will hold the plywood up against the brick.
The reason I feel like the bracing is needed is to counteract the moment that the TV extended from the wall will create.
I'll hope to build the frame similar size as the wall plate of the mount so I can ensure I'm attaching the connectors to something solid on the other side of the brick.

But you haven't listened to me before so I'm sure you'll go ahead and do what you want to do. I am done with this! It's like you don't even consider my feelings anymore!
C'mon ole pal. We're still friends!

Is your TV made of lead? From looking at the pictures if you have movement in that wall, you got bigger issues to deal with before considering hanging a TV on it. I seriously doubt (unless you got one heavy TV) you have any risk of the wall coming apart. The only thing you really need to be concerned with is how well you can anchor the mount to the brick wall. Even that single wythe wall is stronger than you think. I bet you could put that mount on there with lead anchors, extend it, and hang on it and there would be no movement of the wall!!!!
If you are going to go all construction on it for extra support, you might as well follow the rules for wood against masonry and put a layer of roofing felt between your wood and the brick and don't forget the air gap.

Lead anchors with lag bolts (in the mortar joints) , or toggle bolts (in the mortar joints)
seems like you have it figured out tho....looks like it will support a tv plus a fully stocked mini-fridge
