With their mutual agreement, Germany and USSR can merge the Axis and Comintern into a new faction (the Berlin-Moscow faction) through the German focus tree. I assume there's a similar focus for Allies and Comintern as well, but is there a choice for custom factions to merge or otherwise forge co-operation with other factions?

There is a decision to ally the USSR as Germany but I didn't see any word if the factions merge or the factions merge if the UK and USSR are at war with Germany.
The "Unholy Alliance" is not a merge. The original Axis will disband and only Germany and SU will be part of the new one. Also, as Germany, if you go this way, Italy and Japan will hate you.

Is that hardcoded? I would assume Italy and Japan (along with any other Axis countries that may have joined) would receive a chance to join the new faction or leave, with AI doing it based on their opinion of USSR. At least that's how I would do it!

I don't think the Berlin-Moscow alliance disbanding the axis is just a balance thing. Much of the Balkans joined the Axis due to fear of the SU and wanting to take back land of theirs that the SU took. Plus a lot of the fascist countries are in direct opposition to Communist ideology so would have a bit of an issue with siding with the home of communism. During the WWW when Jacob was thinking about the Unholy alliance he said he would be able to reinvite some of his allies. Kind of meaning the rest would have the choice to join the new faction or avoid getting involved

You can invite anybody you want into the Berlin-Moscow pact, it is just another faction. It is simply less likely, since the oppinion of your former allies will suffer, as jakob said in WWW. In theory you could of course end up with all your former allies being back in that faction together with the soviet union.
