"(table2.[type]<2 and table2.[type]>2)"

That will match precisely 0 rows, as type cannot be both less than 2 and greater than 2 at the same time. It's not equivalent to (table2.type...

Also know that if that column contains nulls, those will be missed by the select. Something along the lines of

(table2.[type]<2 and table2.[type]>2) Or table2.[type] IS NULL /*...

The databases are on different machines but for the purpose of the merge we could move them to the same one. This would also make sense in terms of...

A cleaner approach:

Declare @StartDate Date;

Declare @EndDate Date='2016-01-05';--getdate();

Set@StartDate = dateadd(d,-15, @EndDate);

He may be after picking some random rows on the intermediate result of a union alls for whatever reason....
