I doubt it is the source of the damp problems.If you do go ahead with repointing, don't let them use a grinder to rake out the joints. If the mortar is original, hand tools will make short work of it and won't damage the bricks.

You ask where is this damp coming from, could you describe the path leading up to door and paved area's around the house.
