Is this spider useful to have as an attack unit, destroying weak defenses and killing raiders?
Should I merge with Venom?
Has highest DPS of all spider units...

Early on you can make one or two, but generally they are not worth massing. They are handy vs raiders and require less micro than Venoms, but get easily countered by skirmishers.

They're neat for when you can somehow manage to sneak them into the enemies' eco area or get close to light enemy porc without taking long range fire. Probably transportable via Valkyries which is neat as well considering their weight.

Over Fleas yes, over larger ones probably not unless you can use terrain to your advantage.

I think Redback has a sufficiently tall turret to shoot over Venom.
