I would never recommend it
It would depend on the recipe. If the wine is for a sweet dish, then it may be necessary to add a little sugar as well to bring the recipe back into balance. Dry wines may also be higher in acid, and this can be of benefit in some recipes: such as stocks, sauces, risottos and soups as it helps to develop the complexity of other ingredients.

Use a sherry of the same sweetness as the Madeira in the recipe. Use port or Marsala as a substitute for a sweet Madeira. All of the above will be quite close to the original flavor. If absolutely desperate you could try dry/sweet vermouth but the taste will be more than a little different.

Is Marlot sweet wine?
Merlot wines tend to be on the dry side (in wine talk, "dry" is the opposite of "sweet", and nowadays even most "sweet" wines are not really THAT sweet). If you want a wine that's actually what a non-wine person would consider sweet, look for something labeled as a "dessert" wine, such as a Moscato.
