Can Inherited Roth IRA be merged with existing Roth IRA?
No, the inherited funds (beneficiary IRA) have to remain in inherited (beneficiary) form. So the account/funds can only be distributed out of the beneficary IRA as a distribution or transfer to another alike roth beneficiary account at another firm.

Ira has no benificiary and goes to estate can the only living relative take legal control over ira?
Maybe not; the living relative has no authority to take control of an IRA. If there are no beneficiary instructions and no valid will, the IRA will be treated like any other property and be distributed through the probate process.
If the beneficiary of an IRA dies and then the IRA holder dies and there is no contingent beneficiary what happens next?
I believe it reverts back to the owner, and thus becomes part of his estate.
