From my understanding "bayan" is pledging blind obedience to a Sheikh.

Is this practice of unconditionally obeying another persons commands sunnah or innovation?

We do not obey anyone, even the Amir of the believers, if he tells us to do anything that is against the Laws of Allah

as for giving bayat...

If it is haram to then the Sunni Muslims of history (including most great scholars) were sinners

If it is bidah then the Sunnah Muslims of history (including most great scholars) were innovators

I cannot believe that I am hearing this discussion on Sunniforum
