The bottom of the card says "Merrill can change 1 damage each combat he is
in from aggravated to normal." So if someone plays a flame thrower
against him for 2R aggravated does it do two damage to Merrill but not
aggrivated or does it do one aggravated?

Close. Even if Merrill was empty, he simply goes to torpor. The 1
normal damage sends him to torpor. The 1 aggravated damage is redundant;
it sends him to torpor again. You always need at least 2 aggravated
damage to burn a vampire.

if there arises where he takes 3 aggravated, changes one to normal, what is the
order in which he takes the damage? say he has 1 blood left. Does he take the
normal first, get torpored by the 1st point of aggravated then burned by the
2nd? or does he take the aggravated first, going to torpor, heal the damage
from the 2nd aggravated and then ignore the normal damage (already in torpor)?

Using the Flak Jacket (or any other equipment) is always optional, so
yes, he can choose which point of damage to prevent.

You can always choose what damage you want to prevent.

And to answer the other point brought up here, normal damage is
applied first, then aggravated damage is applied. So Meril can choose
to turn the first to normal and prevent the second, turn the second to
normal and prevent the first, or turn the first to normal and prevent
it. However, when it's all applied, the normal (if any is dealt first
in sequence.
