If I understand you, you want to merge the local iPhone Drafts folder with the Hotmail Drafts folder. This can't be done - IMAP accounts like Hotmail mirror the server folder settings. You have a choice which Drafts folder you want to use on the phone :


Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Mailbox behaviors > Drafts mailbox > choose between the one on your iPhone and in Hotmail
