cPanel restorations are performed on the basis of username, not domain. If both have the same username, then cPanel/WHM will attempt to deter you from restoring the account. If you override this, then the existing data will be overwritten.

There is no way to "merge" accounts via cPanel/WHM. If you need to restore that content, you could always temporarily change the username and domain for the existing account, restore the account then arrange things as you desire.
