Little Things [spoilers]

Not Marcone as there were children at the Castle.
That wouldn’t stop the Merlin. Harry is the single greatest threat to his power as Merlin, which to him is everything.
Harry has not only publicly defied the Merlin and won in killing the Red Court, he solo’d a Titan, making him the most powerful single living wizard and has control over the Little Folk. No Non-Senior Council Wizard has achieved such feats of this magnitude since Kemmler.
In addition Harry holds both Excalibur and Demonreach, and is a confidant of Odin(the original Merlin tutor) , and the Lady of the Lake (Mab). He has a better claim to the title The Merlin than the Merlin does. That must hurt on a personal level. The Merlin may be suffering from Imposter syndrome on top of everything else, that perhaps he really isn’t the true Merlin and Harry is, something Kemmler couldn’t achieve. The Merlin feared Kemmler, he both hates and fears Harry.

He may not know that, also he is now a Denarian.. He may not have control over what Namshiel wants. Remember it was the accidental soul gaze of a Denarian back in Death Masks that hardened Harry's will against taking up Lasciel's coin. He didn't want to become a slave to her and never bought the "equal partnership" proposal from her. I also doubt that the Merlin would know about the kinds of wards that the castle has.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Marcone would know, he would make it his business to know what’s going on in the Castle.
Namshiel is only able to operate in the mortal world because of his hosts free will, and Marcone is no wreck like Rasmussen.

I don't think it is that simple, Harry evidently didn't.

Note that the Denarians cheat. Acting to counter that cheating is one of the things that gives Uriel & Co more scope & agency, themselves.
Also note that a malign Angel could swiftly break ANY mortal will, even Marcone's. That the Fallen do not do that is (I think) one of the limits that they choose to abide by, specifically to prevent non-Fallen angels from acting to oppose them.
I expect that -- in general -- each Host makes their own separate "Deal with the Devil," specific to the Host/Denarian pair. And Denarians are good at negotiating those deals; hellishly good (outclassing even Marcone).
I think the Coins themselves have inherent "deals" -- the deals whereby Fallen Angels get to exist within the mortal realm -- no summoning needed!!?! oh em gee ! -- for just anyone to pick up.
But then, within the limits of the Coins and of the Host's deals, the Denarians have a fair bit of leeway; in fact, everything not explicitly forbidden is allowed.
