In svn, what is the difference between merging changes from a Branch back to Trunk and reintegrating changes from a Branch to Trunk? Does this result in the same result with no future problems?

Reintegration is not separate operation - it's subtype of merge.

Reintegrate merging is different from the 'normal' merging: It carefully replicates only those changes unique to the source Merge From compared to the local working copy (Merge To in common case)
