Strokes are paths. Fills are the colors that fill a shape. When you expand a stroke it becomes a fill, and then you can merge it with other objects. If you haven't expanded all of your strokes, then when you use Merge, those strokes will be removed. Here's more information on Pathfinder https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/combining-objects.html
What tool did you use to outline the pic? Did you draw it by hand with the Paintbrush Tool?
It might help if you show before and after screenshots.
