If i backup my settings and then upgrade to the Merlin FW will the saved backup file be compatible with the Merlin FW?

You should be able to just flash the RMerlin firmware straight onto the router, without needing to back it up and restore. just make sure you use the major releases like RT-AC86U_384.6_0.zip etc

Note; back-up config is wise, just incase you hit an issues, but usually it works well as a straight flash
