Does the Merkle Root Contain Any Private User Data?

No, the Merkle Root is a cryptographic hash, a fixed-size string of characters that is the output of hashing the transaction data. It is impossible to reverse-engineer the original transaction data or any private user information (like wallet addresses or amounts) from the Merkle Root alone due to the one-way nature of the hash function.
