There is no pact. The book meant absolutely nothing. It was just a sketchbook with no connection to Annie or Charlie or the demon. Remember Joan speaking to her grandson Loius? She said you need a personal item to evoke the spirit. She used the chalkboard that allegedly belonged to Louis. Only she just bought the chalkboard when Annie met her in the parking lot of the shop. You can see the packaging in Joans trunk. She tricked Annie into evoking Paimon. The spell doesn't evoke the spirit of a loved one so there is no need for a personal item. Paimon used the sketchbook to torment Annie so he can possess her.
The book Annie read about Paimon said he was a "god of mischief". It also said he can only take over a vulnerable host. He tries possesing Peter in the classroom but fails because he is not broken down enough. You can see Paimons presence by looking at the moving light. He also knocks the paint bottle down to make Annie look at Joans number.
Anyways, the demon had to break Peter before he could take over his body. Same applies to him taking over Annie. He basically fucked with Annie by showing her the (non-existent) link between her and the book which turned out to be a bait and switch. Watching her husband burn to death broke Annie. You can see her expression change at the end of the scene when Paimon takes over.
Afterwards the next target is Peter. Paimon and the cult members never had any intention to kill Peter. They had to weaken him to the point where he becomes vulnerable to possession.
