Well done OP for trying to do the right thing. I have one of those 'blind slip roads' near me where I join the motorway. I get infuriated by the crazy joiners who fly down the slip road when they have no idea what they are going to meet (I'm sure others can guess which cars they are driving 😉). 

Their own?

More likely, a leased Audi.  Or possibly a BMW.

Best thing to do is maintain constant speed. Otherwise there is a risk you both brake and end up side by side.

They are the ones maneuvering, so let them do the work.

In the slower urban variation - eye contact and a wave can help.  Not so much on a dual carriageway or motorway.

 If they are along-side me then I tend to gauge their speed and usually speed up ( as this is what I'd expect people on the carriageway to do if I was joining )

Average speed camera zone, my exit is also approx. 300 yards, I try and slow down or I maintain my speed depending on the situation.

Some of the worst ones IME are those that are not much more than a T junction with a dual carriageway, that give a very short entry slip.
