Yes u might feel it ,but if u are sure that u have TMJ related disorder then u should go for MRI of the joint in open and close mouth position .The MRI will show the exact condition of the joint space.
But before going for any investigation I would advice u to visit a dentist for a clinical check up ,as u said u feel click sound ,and with your age TMJ disorders are very common but require detail investigation and there are different mode of treatment depending on the severity of the case .For more detail consultation u can contact me on personal chat box

Clicking sound is typically TMJ problem. We normally give a device called occlusal splint in such problem.
Dizziness is not related to TMJ issues.
