No, you cannot merge multiple questions at once. You can only merge multiple alternates at one time.
Only Supervisors have the ability to merge questions. Non-supervisors who reword questions may trigger a merge that will be sent to a Community Assistant for review. If the two questions should be merged, the CA will merge them.
As a regular member, you can request that the two questions be merged and the supervisor community that handle the merge requests deal with all of them. Regular members cannot merge questions, I'm afraid. However, as a supervisor - we can merge questions to make them one-standing question.
Supervisors can merge questions on WikiAnswers. You can notify Supervisors through the Community Forum, which is checked regularly. It will help if you include the URLs for the questions you think should be merged and we'll take care of it.
If you believe that two questions should be merged, but the recommendation for one did not seem to work, contact any Supervisor or Community Assistant on WikiAnswers. They can merge questions very quickly for you if they are, indeed, similar enough.
Suggesting a merge sends a question to a CA to approve or decline a merge. When you merge questions, you do not change the wording of the questions. Normally we would not notice that the questions do not change because the merge happens instantly, but since there is a delay, we notice it. Don't worry even though it looks like nothing has happened, something will happen.
Sadly, there is no supervisor power to batch merge questions yet. There is something similar to this, which is the split and merge feature in the 'Edit Alternates' section of any question. You can click that button to split and merge all selected alternates and move them to another question, all at once; however, the question must already be in the alternates to do so.
No, they can't. They can, however, suggest a merge.(See the Related question for details.)
If the non-protected question doesn't have an answer, then you can merge it into a protected question. However, if the non-protected question does have an answer, then it cannot be merged into a protected question.

This is the exact job for the Merge tool! If you find a question that is repeated multiple times but means the same thing, please report them to a Supervisor to have them merged.
The function of the merge cells option is to combine multiple cells in a table. This merging can take place for different reasons such as addition.
