please read man page for l2control(8) utility. more specifically,

"
    The l2control utility connects to the *local* device with the specified
     BD_ADDR and attempts to send the specified command.
"

l2control(8) will dump information about open channels as seen by
*local* device. NOT remote. therefor is does not make much sense to
put *remote* bd_addr as parameter. it will never work.

generally speaking, yes. usually pairing happens when host (i.e. pc)
is trying to connect to the headset's rfcomm channel. in most cases,
the headset will request authentication. however, if it does not, use
hccontrol(8) write_authentication_enable command on host's device to
force authentication (i.e. paring)
