Answer 1

from openpyxl import cell as xlcell, worksheet
def within_range(bounds: tuple, cell: xlcell) -> bool:
    column_start, row_start, column_end, row_end = bounds
    row = cell.row
    if row >= row_start and row <= row_end:
        column = cell.column
        if column >= column_start and column <= column_end:
            return True
    return False

def get_value_merged(sheet: worksheet, cell: xlcell) -> any:
    for merged in sheet.merged_cells:
        if within_range(merged.bounds, cell):
            return sheet.cell(merged.min_row, merged.min_col).value
    return cell.value

Should do it for current openpyxl version (2.6.3)
