Experience is broken up by level. If a level 20 character and a level 80 character get 100 exp then 20 is for the lower level character
It is also penalised if you are not close to the monster level
It is penalised at 75,80,85,90,and 95
You get 35% bonus if a party member is in the same area
The hit points of monsters is based on the number of people in the game. The extra exp you get from killing them is based on the number of people but with people partied up in the same area counting for more
Mercs will catch-up eventually. It would be hard to leave NM with a merc significantly behind you unless you skip a lot of areas. If you want them to catch up then just go to an area where the monsters are similar level and kill lots of things. (I usually combine this with MFing :) )
