Everything's correct so far...

... but you shouldn't do this. Keep 'Use "From:" URL' checked instead.
Next, click on of the 'Show Log'-buttons and select the revision (or:
range of revisions, using shift-click) from the trunk you want to merge
to the branch. After clicking on 'OK' the two 'Revision'-fields have
been populated; 'Dry Run' and 'Merge' should work as expected now.

First of all, "From:" and "To:" do /not/ refer to source and target of
the merge-operation. The target of the merge-operation is /always/ your
current working-copy.
"From:" and "To:" refer to the first and the last revision to be used
during the merge-operation (or: to be considered by the merge-algorithm).
Please note that the last sentence is not really precise at all, for you
should check chapter 4 of the SVN-book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.branchmerge.html) for more info.

HTH,
Mark
