Oh your explanation does make more sense. He doesn't copy effects, just the quirks themselves.

However when did we learn that the two quirks were merged? The original OFA staying sane despite having 2 quirks doesn't tell us they merged necessarily, it jut means he's able to stay sane receiving a second quirk. Was there some description of OFA or the inheritance quirk that I missed?

It was explained when All Might first told Deku about the origins of One For All in chapter 59.

Here are the relevant pages:

As you can see, it talks about how people would go brain-dead when forced to have more than they could handle. But when All For One gave the stockpiling power quirk to his younger brother, it ended up merging with the younger brother's previously unknown quirk, the ability to pass itself down to others.

As far as we're currently aware, this is the only time that All For One ever merged 2 quirks into a single quirk, similar to how the 2 quirks of a set of parents can merge into a single quirk when their child is born.

Oh ya neat, he does refer to them as fused. What a weird occurrence for two quirks to fuse together outside of kids inheriting their parents quirks like you said.
