I don't think they are going to start off with Merlin being the age he was when the show first started. I think they are going start with them being very young children. When Gaius and parents of Merlin, and Arthur were young. Before the purge came about -- when magic was legal.

Don't fret about Eoin, I think him and Tom can still be part of the movie because I don't think they will be needed for all three. Plus they are doing a TV show -- I am sure they can step away for a moment to do a movie. For instance Whoopi Goldberg take a week or two break from the View to do a movie. Then there's those times when they are not shooting the TV show -- that's when actors step away to other projects. Plus it's a good opportunity for them to be seen in an actual movie. For an actor this is a good thing -- especially if you only been seen in television. George Clooney started in television, and has gotten lots of roles since his time on ER.
