All wines start out with natural sugars. When they are fermented the sugar turns to alcohol. If you stop the fermentation early you get sweet wines. Most red wines are less then 1% residual sugar and this is below the taste threshold for most people to taste sweet. So the short answer is no Merlot does not have more sugar then regular wine it is a regular wine. What you taste is the fruit as Merlot tends to be more fruit forward then other wines.

Unfortunately, this question is too broad to answer. Reds and whites each run the gammet of dry to sweet. A white Muscat will have a higher sugar content than a red Cabernet Sauvignon, but a red Merlot will have a higher sugar content than a white Sauvignon Blanc. There must be a specific varietal comparison to help you find what are are looking for.

Merlot is one of the sweeter wines. It still doesn't have anywhere near the sugar content of Coca Cola.

How would a wine maker produce a sweet wine. A dry wine?

Sweetness in wine is the result of sugar that is left unfermented. If the grapes have naturally high levels of sugar the wine will be sweet without any intervention because once the wine reaches a certain level of alcohol the yeasts that change the sugar into alcohol die. This point will vary with the chosen strain of yeast used. The process can also be stopped early to allow for a lighter, low alcohol sweet wine. Chilling the wine down will stop the fermentation, leaving the grape's natural sugar behind. Filtering can remove the yeasts themselves, bring fermentation to an end immediately. Sweet wines are frequently low in alcohol, unless they are "fortified" by a spirit (i.e port). Fortification is another way to prematurally haul fermentation because yeasts are intolerant of high levels of alcohol.
