On Yosemite or El Capitan - even if you export the originals with XMP sidecar files to preserve the IPTC metadata, the metadata from the sidecar file will not be applied to the originals when reimporting. You would have to export the edited versions and the originals separately and they would no longer be paired. ( Combine libraries in Photos - Apple Support) This is the most tedious way and only feasible for very small libraries.

Merge the libraries by exporting the photos (edited versions and originals) from one library and reimporting them into the other library.

Photos 1 and 2 cannot sync the named faces, but Photos 3 and 4 can sync them.

Photos will scan for duplicate original files while merging and resolve conflicts between duplicate originals. The searchable faces names will upload (only on Photos 1.5 or older, not on Photos 2.0), but not the faces thumbnails and albums. All edited images will be paired with their originals, so you can undo the edits and revert to the original. Your albums and folders will migrate, keywords, titles, and other metadata.
