Hg is not extremely dangerous...
For a dowel to split there has to be enough room for separation,
And judging from your spelling and grammar, I think you may be experiencing other effects that you are unaware of.the amount you will be using should be about 1/2 oz Use it then take it to a haz mad drop off usually the fire dept. We have probibly removed 50 bullets in 20 years that way I personally would not do it any other way because I have tried most of them and they all suck. But I do have 6 toes on one foot.
No, you don't need to burn it.Set the dowel on fire and let it burn down like a match?
From the bullet end pour mercury down the barrel let it sit over nite the mercury will disolve the lead. just pour it back out into a pan the lead will seperate from the mercury.
mercury was used in fillings in your mouth HOLY CRAP among other things

Heck, the cracks between the boards in the oak flooring in my old high schools science classroom was silver from wall to wall!!I remember playing with mercury as a kid.
Bullseye was also used in frag grenades. They didn't want a true explosive as it would blow the grenade to powder. They wanted to break up the iron into lethal fragments, so used a fast burning pistol powder rather than something like TNT.
A common way to deal with a muzzle loader where a ball has been loaded without powder is to introduce powder through the cleanout screw or into the bolster after removing the nipple.
