Merging partitions can't be done with Windows XP's built-in programs, you need a third party tool like Partition magic.
Can't tell you if PM 4 supports NTFS, but well, just install and try. If PM 4 doesn't do it you'll need a newer version.

No, PM4 won't work with XP, it's too old. The first version that supported XP was 7.
