that and pretty much everything about that battle is some of the best writing, as you say.
I am sure Eowyn had no hope, but no one was messing with Theoden on her watch.
For Merry, I'm not entirely sure whether he was in despair/without hope, or whether he wasn't really thinking in those terms at all and everything was simply immediate, and full of choices, without really much room for him to know if he was feeling despair or not. I almost think at times that fear overwhelms absolutely everything, including hopelessness, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't in that state at that time. Just conjecture, really.
