Was Merry's sword enchanted?

I know that mainly the sword was the one that broke the spell that tied the Witch King's self together, but why was it broken when it was only a blade of Westernese?

Also, I was under the distinct impression that Gandalf the White, when he was in Minas Tirith after he defeated the Witch King among the gate, he wanted to go out on the field to chase the W.K. in order to avoid any type of damage done by him...

Since Gandalf was no man either, but an ainur. BEing so powerful himself, he could have given him his much deserved end...

And thats probably the reason the W.K. feared to get close to Lothlorien... knowing that a terribly powerful witch lived there, more powerful than him, according to the U.T., and being an elf and a woman, she could have given him the *** kicking he deserved...
