As I understand, I cannot upload a gedcom and merge it into my existing tribalpages site, only replace it. I would have to upload my current gedcom to another app like FTM then merge the new file to it. Then upload this new FTM file to tribalpages, replacing the current one. I am concerned that I will lose comments about people such as"he was an army cook". Has anyone had any experience with this?

Depends where Your "comments" are situated. If they are with a photo they should still be there as photo's are not affected.. If they are in a persons "notes" they will be there only if they are in the new gedcom that you upload. That is, if the new gedcom resulting from the gedcoms you merge contain these comments, in a persons "notes", then they will not be lost.
