Yes, but the weapon itself still does lethal. If you voluntarily lower the enchantment, or are in an anti-magic field, the weapon reverts to lethal. It doesn't have an exception to allow rogues to do non-lethal sneak attack like bludgeoner.
A merciful weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of damage, but all damage it deals is nonlethal damage. On command, the weapon suppresses this ability until told to resume it (allowing it to deal lethal damage, but without any bonus damage from this ability. This states that all
damage the weapon does is converted to nonlethal, I think that this
includes sneak attack.
