What is the literal meaning of Sallallahu?
Would it be right if I say 'Allah's salah/salat', which means Allah's blessings, Mercy.

Salah means either Prayers or Prayers/Blessings. A person can go do Salah, as in go pray. Or a person can say/send Salah as a dua. For example, Muhammad Sala'Lahu Alaihi Wa Salam (Peace/Blessing be upon him) "Sallallhu" as you mean is part of "Blessing be upon" - It's 2-words in Arabic.– ShadiSep 22, 2017 at 17:07

Salla , is derived from Sila that means : Connection , link .. etc.
That's why Salah (prayer) is very realted to mentioning and praising ,
"surely, I am Allah: There is no god but I: So worship Me , and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise "
or
" establish prayer for My remembrance." http://tanzil.net/#trans/en.sahih/20:14
[Saheeh International translation]
Salla Allahu , means: may Allah give Salat (or Salawat) .
Salla is a past tense verb , Allahu : is the subject. (Literally : Allah did Salat.)
It's mentioned usually when saying : May Allah give Salat to his Prophet. And it means here : mercy and blessings , or means : praising the prophet among the angels.

@Ahmed you should ask this in a new question how ever this sounds more likely a fit for the Arabic proposal– Medi1Saif ♦Mar 22, 2018 at 6:17
