Does the Mercator projection show the size or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'

What is the plate tectonic boundary type when the plate moves toward each other?
It is called a convergent boundary and can often result in a chain of mountains. When two plates converge, it is common for the denser plate to sink underneath the other. This process is called subduction.
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
