To merge a DXF file into an existing drawing, you can either:
- Use the library browser (View > Library Browser), typically used to insert symbols and other small ready-made parts
- Open both drawings and use copy / paste to copy one drawing into another one

To insert bitmaps (BMP, PNG, JPEG, ...), you can use Draw > Insert Bitmap.

No. Depending on the application they originate from, you might be able to export them as DXF or convert them to DXF.
