Equal leg angles are scaled up by a factor of 1.56 for deflection provided you are using the Ixx
They should be designed for the full height of brick above. Deflection will govern L/480 (see s304.1 masonry code Canada). Even if you have a control joint on one side only arching is ineffective...
I think the single dashed line in the loft space represents where the ceiling goes from sloped to flat. The architect did not fully clarify this but I think a lot of the ceiling is flat.

The adjacent/Flanking foundation walls alongside the pier may provide additional dead load. So the wall footings, soil and selfweight of wall all contributed to the dead load too.
But if it is an isolated interior pier then you may have to lower the underside of footing elevation to get the...
