Yes it is something to worry about. He can kill her. Bearded dragons should never be housed together or allowed to be around each other for this very reason.

If he was trying to bite her neck while he was laying on her he was trying to mate. How old are they?

Yes it is most certainly something to be worried about!!!
This can turn tragic in seconds. They need to be in separate vivs immediately..

He could be trying to mate with her. Please house them in separate cages ASAP so he doesn't hurt or kill her.

I've never bred them before so I'm not 100% but they should be old enough to mate now. Please do tons of research and make sure you are able to not only care for the eggs and babies once they hatch but also any or all of them the rest of their lives if you can't find them homes once old enough to adopt out. The can lay up to 30 eggs and once the babies hatch you will need an almost endless supply of live insects for them to survive. She may actually already be carrying fertile eggs if they mated. If you aren't ready for the responsibly you can freeze them once laid to humanely stop them from hatching.

I've never tried to breed dragons, but my guess would be that springtime would be the time, like most animals. There are a lot of posters who have done this, so I'd see if one of them can answer how it is done safely. In my mind, it'd have to be where they are brought together for that purpose, monitored closely, then separated, but that's only my guess.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
