You can try this first draft script. It's mostly there and should only require cosmetic tweaking, such as removing the manual save folder selection step if you want to save the merged files to the TIFF input folder or automatically create a new merged output folder alongside or within the TIFF input folder.
Notes:
* Saves a layered TIFF file, change the boolean from true to false to save a flattened TIFF file [line 71]
* Layer opacity at 40% [line 108]
* Optional featur

After using the script a bit more, some of the blends aren't aligning properly and are blurry. Have tried to trouble shoot to see if there is a specific cause and can't figure it out. Any ideas why this maybe happening? Almost seems random as it maybe a few within a specific set for a house.

The script should be doing the same thing as the action when set to "Auto", which is the same as what you would do manually.
If you do this manually for the image pairs that are failing, do you get the same poor result? If not, do you get the same poor result if using an action?
The script could call an action to do the auto, but in theory, this is the same as using the script code.
As others commented previously, although you seem to like this workflow, others would not do things this way.
Because the images that are not auto aligning/blending correctly through the script are blending cleanly when I run my action or blend manually, it must be something based within the auto alignment in the script, just not sure what or why. The script action for auto align is 'auto align' and 'auto' projection.

You can disable it by commenting out, adding double forward slashes in front of //autoAlign(); or deleting the following named function call:
autoAlign();
Then you can replace this line with code to call your action, which should only have a single step to auto-align the layers selected by the script. The action and action set names are case-sensitive and need to match your action and set:
app.doAction("My Action Name", "My Action Set Folder Name");
Was hoping to remove all actions within that part of the script that would overlap my full action, from the point of selecting all laters to saving with my one action.
Such as possibly app.doAction("Opacity 35%", "Auto Bending"); and selectAllLayers();

Comment out or remove the following three lines of code found in the "Perform the stacking and saving" code block and replace them with the code to run the action set/action:
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity = 40; // Layer opacity
selectAllLayers();
autoAlign();
Edit: You will need to disable or remove the save TIFF step from your action as that will still be performed by the script.
