Can you apply a merciful balm to a bomb?
If it causes splash or persistent damage, is that nonlethal?
If the persistent damage is nonlethal, and I hit someone in the last round of the hour, is it still nonlethal next round?
If it's an alchemist fire and it sets a house on fire, is the fire nonlethal?

Can you apply a merciful balm to a bomb?
I actually don't see any reason why not. A bomb is a weapon. A consumable weapon, so you couldn't put a Merciful Rune on one.
I also don't see anything preventing you from using the option to make a nonlethal strike with a bomb.
If it causes splash or persistent damage, is that nonlethal?
I would expect so.
If the persistent damage is nonlethal, and I hit someone in the last round of the hour, is it still nonlethal next round?
We are getting very deep into the edge case territory here, but I would think that it was.
If it's an alchemist fire and it sets a house on fire, is the fire nonlethal?
This is into the realm of GM Fiat. Alchemist's Fire doesn't set objects on fire other than creature objects such as constructs and complex traps. So this question will also have to be ruled on by the GM.

Yes, that's a bigger question than lethal vs nonlethal. You could also make a fire ball nonlethal [ Nonlethal Spell ], but by default, it doesn't harm anything other than creatures [and things like hazards] without DM fiat.
