Its best not to think of the singularity as a "thing" that is inside the black hole at a particular position. It is a point in spacetime (not a point in space), and it is a point that is always in the future.

We know that black holes can collide and merge, but if they each have a singularity at the core, how can the two singularities merge and become one? Wouldn't the mere fact of a second singularity in range of another make it not a singularity?

Hypothetically, Yes. Realistically, No. As username_1 mentioned a singularity isn't a physical object but rather a point in space time. In theory a wormhole is just two singularities which combined.
