My pinned locations are a kind of a mess and I’d like to simplify/merge them.

Is there a way to do this and will it update all the observations I have submitted or will it screw those up?

Changing a pinned location won’t affect your existing observations. Pinned locations are just a way for you to quickly add a commonly-used location to the observation.
