About Live you yourself said that we never show him get a headache (chapter 112 a side) (not even when Erwin dies) so I don't think it is a headache in chapter 112.

About Ackerman, we don't know if what Eren said was truth half-truth or just lies, I guess it was a half-truth (the part about the Titan Power and the "Paths of Ackerman" truth the Headaches and the "Host" was a lie). You can't conclude that it's not a headache, same as we can't strictly affirm that it is. But there's still a lot of things that hint us at it being a headache. Like... The fact that it's represented exactly like Mikasa's. But even if it's a headeache, that doesn't strictly mean it's because of the Ackerbond, it might be intended to be a red herring. Regular people have headaches too. Nothing surprizing if Levi get one too one day.

And I don't think the headaches are really a lie, because Mikasa has been shown to have them when thinking about the moment she awoke her Ackerbond since chapter 2. But what could be a lie from Eren would be the "headeache means that your ancient yourself is trying to emerge again", but that doesn't mean headaches related to the Ackerbond aren't real. The lie would be the reason of the headaches, but not the headaches by themselves. Levi did not have a headache. Every single time that Isayama wanted to showcase a headache he accompanied it with a "throb" sound effect. It's very specific and this wasn't used on Levi. He uses it for Mikasa, even in cases where Eren's safety is assured. An example of that would be her reaction to Armin's state after the fight with Bertolt. Isayama also uses the same "throb" sound effect for Eren's headaches. The exact same as Mikasa's. You can read volume 1's  chapter 3 to confirm it.

Mikasa's headaches are probably a result of severe traumatic experience. Not of any supernatural, non-existing bond. It is possible that Mikasa sub-conscious mind is telling her not to fight, or run from anything violent. Mikasa lived in a isolated area since birth, she never seen any violence, despite being surrounded by it. That was established in the anime, and perhaps manga as well.

However, her peaceful life all ended when Mikasas' parents were murdered by human traffickers, and she was kidnapped.

You are quite possibly correct that it could be a result of her being traumatised from past experience. While it is traumatising for Mikasa, she should be grateful that Eren Yeager came to her rescue. If he didn't, she would have being in a far worse of situation by becoming someones' sex slave.

But, if it is due to her disobeying the one who activated Mikasas' 'Ackerman Power' (Eren Yeager). Then the reason for Captain Levi Ackerman not having any headaches is because he wasn't disobeying any of Commander Erwins' orders.

If it is true, then parts of her (Little Mikasa and Ackerman) are clashing with one another for control.
