Very much so, as far as I understand. Indeed, if it worked the way you suggest, presumably we'd be fading in and out of places all the time as the wavefunction evolves, rather than having a single coherent conscious experience.
And how would we tell?
I'd appreciate if you point me to the setup you are working with.
I can't math, but as I understand it, branches merge only when they happen to become identical. So, unless your earthbound suicide attempts end up putting you in a situation physically indistiguishable from your MWI-cousin on an alien ship, you won't merge.
