The merchant thing is because BioWare uses a trick to save memory in the game: Certain merchants share the same Inventory pool. They were doing this in BG1 as well: Go to BG city and find a General Store. Sell them a unique item or two, like the Wand of Polymorphing. Now go to ANY General Store, and hey wow! they've got a Wand of Polymorphing.
