You def need to utilize the studs to carry the most weight. No way any brick anchors would suffice on a floating unsupported brick wall.
Well. . . that's my opinion as well. But it seems like you and I are in the minority.
Regardless of others' opinions, I'm going to support this fricker on the backside of the brick. I can't trust the anchors to hold in a mortar joint of an unsupported brick wall.

You definitely need to disperse the stress. Another option would be to secure the backside hardware of frame to the floor or put boards between the frame and the ceiling hoists. Both would fight the tendancy of the supports to lift as the TV tries to fall. If you follow.
Either way looking forward to seeing you.
