One thing that might help all this is that Undead are immune to being demoralized unless you have some other effect that lets you affect undead with mind affecting or fear effects.
Tho the easiest thing is if your doing non lethal damage your doing no damage. a Table or corpse doesn't care if you hit it with a wiffle bat.
1) Since the undead are immune to nonlethal, you are not dealing any damage to them, and so Enforcer does not activate. (It's debateable whether undead can be demoralized anyway, but that's a different discussion.)
2) With Blade of Mercy, only the weapon damage is nonlethal. Any damage dice from a source besides the weapon itself is of the normal type, so a flaming weapon would do 1d6 lethal fire damage. However, I believe a holy weapon would do nonlethal, because it says "This power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against all creatures of evil alignment," implying that the weapon itself is doing the damage (so it is nonlethal,) whereas flaming reads "a flaming weapon is sheathed in fire that deals an extra 1d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit," so it is the fire doing the damage and not the weapon itself, making it lethal.
3) Even on a critical, you don't cause the Shaken condition unless you make your Intimidate check. It should probably be rephrased "If your attack was a critical hit, your target is frightened for 1 round as well as being shaken for a number of rounds equal to the damage dealt with a successful Intimidate check."

Intimidate is neither a Mind Affecting effect or a Fear effect.
Yeah, doesn't make any sense either, but dem's da rules. Linkified.
The part that is implied.
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. This shaken condition doesn’t stack with other shaken conditions to make an affected creature frightened. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom modifier.
Success: If you are successful, the target is shaken for one round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.
Fail: The opponent is not shaken.
Shaken from demoralize does not stack with anything (due to a developer comment,) so Enforcer + Weapon of Awe does not make people frightened.
Glossary says shaken is fear:
Shaken: A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.[/uote]
