Do merchants fall under the syndicate cabal warfare capture the flag?

No. They can not retrieve, they cannot take an enemy flag and they are not supposed to defend.

What about evil merchants interacting with goods? Are goodies allowed to buy from them or no?

Can you buy from an evil shopkeeper?

I'm almost positive that you can - and I agree that it should be personal choice. It'd be fun to see an Avatar who refuses to patronize any establishment in Miruvhor, for instance.

EDIT: Mali, I'm the one who's supposed to be making the theology jokes around here.
