I have no idea...

I then spent some time running from the merchant and getting no points, until finally deciding to give up

As for evading the merchant, I highly suspect that the ACTUV is far more maneuverable than the merchant. So even if you are slower, you should be able to dodge him and force him to overshoot.
Dodging and overshooting is easy.... It's keeping him outside that 500yd exclusion zone was the tricky part.
