No. A storm surge is a mass of water driven onto land by a hurricane or other major wind event. A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves triggered by an earthquake or landslide. A tsunami is faster and more violent than a storm surge.
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, meaning that the storm is producing rotation that can spawn a tornado.
A storm surge occurs over water. It is a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.
"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.
A tornado comes from a type of storm called a rotating thunderstorm, but is not a storm, itself.
"Storm surge" is a noun.
No. A storm surge is a bulge on the surface of a body of water created by a strong storm such as a hurricane. The storm surge can bring coastal flooding.

Cyclones, particularly hurricanes and typhoons, create a bulge on the surface of water with their winds. This storm surge can cause heavy coastal flooding if the storm makes landfall.

A tornado does not "mix" with other storms. A tornado is part of a larger parent storm, though.
This phenomenon is likely due to the storm surge associated with hurricanes. Strong winds from the storm push water towards the shore, causing a temporary rise in sea level. This can result in coastal flooding and damage to properties near the shore.
A marsh does not do anything to affect a tornado's destructive potential, but it can reduce the effects of a hurricane. One of the most destructive parts of the impact of a hurricane is the storm surge, where the winds drive seawater onto land. Marshes reduce the storm surge.
