By default, EpubMerge combines the metadata TOCs together, nesting the original TOCs in a tree. That can be changed in in Epubmerge's config. There's also an option to flatten the TOC to a single level.
EpubMerge doesn't have any way to generate a consolidated in-text TOC like you describe. Calibre's own Conversion tool can, and you can do an epub->epub conversion. I haven't looked at how well that works and convert does sometimes change things more than you might like.

I converted the book into a .DOCX and saw the proper ToC (which I could see in Calibre, but not when I actually opened the ebook in Calibre). Then I converted it back. It now works the way I want it to.

It is on the Tools menu

I only saw this after I converted into .DOCX and back. I didn't suffer any problems with conversions, but I found the command and will remember this for next time.
