Will this agreement be voted on by the entire Senate to make it binding?

No, it is a done deal between the 16 senators who signed on.

The agreement isn't enforceible anywhere. So it's binding only in a political sense.

Any agreements play out in full votes in the Senate. Side deals that swap votes are not the votes themselves.

NO!

That's NOT how this works. You just witnessed a coup de tat.
