Finish the wall first, then put your L brackets on.

A laser level is invaluable for drop ceilings and is the easiest way to keep yourself honest with a consistent height and straight lines.

Absolutely, laser levels and drop ceilings go together like PB & J.

I just don't know if laying textured wall paper (nothing aggressive, grasscloth pattern) under the brackets would cause any issues. I really don't think so because not worrying about straight cuts at the top and bottom of the paper (we are also doing wainscoting) would make the project much easier
