You don't even need a key to access Heide's. More towards the water in Majula, to the left, there's a pathway down. Get through that area and you'll find Heide's on the other side.

As for the Pharros thing, hit the symbol and a wall will open up.

 

I found it now, I had been down there before but didn't notice the pull chain. I thought the contraption a few flights up was the key. This time I was online so a ton of messages pointed it out lol. It took a while to fight to the ring. Cool area but will save the rest for later, it takes way too long to take them down atm.
