Well, a technical question: is tea brewing linear? That is, does half the
tea in half the water make the same product?

Well, it's hard to imagine a "neighbor effect", as with bread or a souffle'.
Tea on the edge of the mug should brew about the same as tea in the middle.

That is if they are the same temperature. So I would scald the pot and,
even more importantly, scald the mug (rinse it out with boiling water).

Try it. If you like it, keep trying it. If you don't, try something else.
