So my iCloud profile picture is synced across most of my devices, except one of my computers and strictly in the app store on one of my other computers. My iPhone and iMac are perfectly up to date. Is there a way to force an update? I've cleared the cached files on the computers and no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is a fantastic article on moving to iCloud. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4918
And, yes, you can keep your current @me.com address. Instead of being associated with MobileMe, @me.com email addresses are now iCloud (and MobileMe user will be migrated over), so the email address that comes with iCloud is @me.com. Again, I believe you are able to keep your current @me.com address.
Unfortunately, merging wouldn't be possible.
It is possible you have an email account with "Notes" enabled on your iPhone, but don't have the same account set up on your Mac.
On your iPhone, in the Notes listing, tap "Accounts" in the upper left corner. Mentally review those accounts.
On your Mac, click the Navigation icon that shows two lists next to a box, and makes sure the accounts are the same.
If the accounts aren't the same, setup the missing accounts on your Mac in Mail Preferences. Also, if you have an Note "Account" on your iPhone that is named something like "On my iPhone", transfer those notes to an account that syncs. You can accomplish that by, tapping the Share icon in the note, tap "Copy", tap "Notes" to view your list of notes, tap "Accounts", tap an account that will sync to your Mac, tap the "+" icon, tap and hold, paste the note that. (Hopefully you don't have too many notes that need that action).

As you have done major steps like clearing cache, the following is a tweak which also allows you to sync the photo in all your Apple devices. Keep this a try
Once you see the Share your Name and Photo with the Friends splash screen, tap the "Choose Name and Photo" button to continue. On the next screen, your Display Name will be listed as whatever name is associated with your Apple ID, but you can change it to whatever you want. Only one field needs to be filled out, so you can just choose a first or last name or special moniker or nickname.
As for the photo, if you've set a custom photo for yourself in the Contacts app or have already created a Memoji, you'll see those options in the large circles above your display name. You can swipe through the options and select the one you'd like to use. If you want something different, there should be a "View More" option in one of the circles.
Once you've selected one you like, tap the "Continue" button at the bottom, and you'll get a prompt asking to "Use This Photo Everywhere?" It states that using the new image will change the photo associated with your Apple ID and in your My Card in the Contacts app. Tap "Use" to continue.
On the last page, you'll be asked to choose who you share your name and photo with. You can choose to share it automatically with "Contacts Only" or one a case-by-case basis with "Always Ask."
By default, "Always Ask" is recommended to maximize your privacy, which will display a permissions prompt within each conversation's thread, where you can choose "Share" or hit the (x) to keep it hidden.
This tweak might help you to sync the photo.
