To be perfectly safe I'd put a frame behind that wall that anchors to the floor if you have access. Literally a framed floor plate, top plate and studs to anchor in. That way you can go through the existing brick to attach to the frame but the brick wouldn't bear any of the weight.

That's a lot of sheer weight to support when the mount is fully extended.

You think something like I have drawn here will work? I'll space the frame to match the size of the mount plate so I'm going through the 2x4 frame with the bolts.
