I had a heck of a time trying to track down images of mini!Michelle, but finally dug this one out of a Buffy fan site. I'm not sure how old she is here, probably six or seven, but it's close enough. And last night, it made more sense (the pic was in B&W) but this morning it looks sort of goofy. Oh well. It's made, that's all that matters.
Dawn is not sensing the dead. She was remembering the fear from the night before, and mixing it in with her own issues. No Dawn of the Dead in this one.
Merle... well, she was grabbed from her family by Glory/Ben, dragged all over Hell's half acre while Ben was deciding to kill her, then tossed up on a tower where someone was slicing and dicing. I've decided that this means mini!Dawn will translate these issues into issues with strange big men (note her reaction to Richard at the end) and we'll get into that in later chapters.
They're (probably) never going to believe her about the 15 thing. She may try, but can you imagine what you'd do if some random little kid said that to you? "Oh, little Jimmy's so imaginative". And yes, we're not in magical land, but the same premise stands.

Glad you enjoyed the chapter!
