Turn Coat mentions that McCoy has the journals of his master, his master's master, etc., and that the very first journals in the line were penned by none other than the original Merlin himself. Ergo, it can be inferred that Arthurian Merlin taught the line of wizards that eventually taught Dresden. Whether this makes them related in any way remains to be seen, though it is possible given that McCoy was both his daughter's and grandson's master, and that the last time a wizard was given custody of
any of the swords was Arthurian Merlin.
That being said, I suspect the Wardens would kill Dresden first and not ask questions were he to pop back in time for any reason.
WRT the Doctor appearing around the time of the confrontation with He Who Walks Behind...I doubt anything would occur. The Doctor has stated numerous times that he cannot change the future and only appears to apparently set the timeline back on track when something attempts to knock it out of whack. Given that Dresden
has to meet HWWB in order for the entire Dresden story line to occur, I think the Doctor would only intervene if something
else attempted to intervene to either prevent the meeting or cause Dresden to fail.
