Hi Air,

Yes, if there are no error, then I would assume that the board was programmed correctly.
I am not quite sure what you mean here.
I believe that nRFGo Studio performs a verify operation after it flashes a hex file.
Yes, after merging the bootloader, application and softdevice using mergehex, you can use nrfjprog to flash the combined hex file. nrfjprog and mergehex are both a part of the nRF5x Commandline Tools and can be downloaded from this page under "PC Software".

Note that nRFGo Studio is just a GUI on top of nrfjprog, but generally, I would recommend using nrfjprog for production programming, e.g.

nrfjprog --program <name of combined hex file>.hex --chiperase --verify

This will erase the entire chip before flashing the combined hex file and finally read back the flash to verify that it was flashed correctly.

Best regards

Bjørn
