So when I have MR in the past and they have "combined" reservations for me under one of the already existing reservation #s, how did they do that? My thoughts have always been that maybe they had the ability to "force" a room into a certain rate code if needed. So if I had two reservations A and B with consecutive stays, MR could remove both of them, and recreate a reservation under A that included all the nights for both A and B and included the same rates as before. Even if the rates we no longer "publicly" available.

No issue here, makes sense that returning a room won't necessarily send it back to the originally available rate as the hotel may have a much smaller pool of available rooms. Probably works simialarly to airlines and available seats.
