Yes, if the camera is not present(It won't be if the TTL adapter is faulty) there will be no tracking information, and initialization will fail so no searching will take place.

First I would download the 2007 CMUcam2 Setup and Initialization PDF and see page 5 for the TTL port pin outs. Looking at it they are left to right GND, TX out, +5V, Rx in with Rx in being closest to the 9-pin connector.
It should be wired it as follows:
+5V from one of the PWM's to +5V on the Camera TTL port
GND from the EDU TTL to GND on the Camera TTL port
TX out from the EDU TTL to RX in on the Camera TTL port
RX in from the EDU TTL to TX out on the Camera TTL port
*Yes you need to cross over TX and RX pins*
*You will not need a TTL to RS-232 adapter*
*This will both power the Camera and allow for data transfer*
