The Hilti system uses mesh sleeves that are inserted into holes drilled in the brick, then filled with epoxy. You insert an appropriate fastener into the sleeve after the epoxy goes in. There is no epoxy on the face of the brick.

Removel is not as easy as just unscrewing a lag bolt. However you do it, you're going to have holes to fill if you remove the bracket down the road. I'd just take out those bricks and install new ones at that point. It's not that big a deal to do.

If you want to minimize the loads and the size of the anchors needed, throw away the bracket you bought and make your own mount that spans between the two walls and hang the TV from that. If you do it right, the loads can be essentially all in shear, which makes them very small. In that case, relatively small anchors will work.
