Is there a way in which I can use the contact details of one lead as the secondary contact details of another lead while merging?

Hello, Madhu.
It is not possible to add one lead’s information as another lead’s secondary contact information while merging. However, you can manually add it.

Are activities also merged or just the lead attributes?

Hello, Nitin.
When you merge two leads, the activities, tasks, and notes of the leads are also merged. These will be available under the parent lead.
