```python
class Tally:
    def __init__(self, name: str, count=0):
        self.name = name
        self.count = count

    def add_one(self, amount: int) -> 'Tally':
        if not isinstance(amount, int) or amount < 0:
            raise ValueError("amount must be a non-negative integer.")
        self.count += amount
        return self

    def merge_tally(self, other: 'Tally') -> 'Tally':
        if not isinstance(other, Tally):
            raise TypeError("other must be an instance of Tally.")
        return Tally(self.name, self.count + other.count)
```
This Python solution adheres to the given task requirements and interface. It includes methods `add_one` and `merge_tally`, each with appropriate type hints and error handling for invalid inputs. The solution is designed to be pure functions where possible, avoiding mutable default arguments and recursion without a correct base case or depth bound.
