would like to display countdown of characters typed into merged text cell so
users can see how much more room they have to answer
 
Not possible.

While you're typing data in a cell Excel is in edit mode. No events can take
place until your're out of edit mode. In this case the event would be the
calculation of a formula that returns the number of characters entered into
a cell.
