What merge () does is - is to put back the detached entity back into persistence storage. So if in yr case- if yr entity was detached it will put it back to persistence which means you don't have to call persist again.
For answer to part 2. - merge() method with throw an illegal Arguement Exception if its paramter is not an entity type. I hope this helps....
