(Plothole?)  if nerevar was a shezarr then the nerevarine by definition is as well, in the lore specific shezarrines are mentioned: pelinal whitestrake, hjalti early beard, ysmir, Wulfharth, all incarnations of the underking. however neither the nerevarine or nerevar are on this list, furthermore, most shezarrines who are actually noted by lore are of the race of man. I'm not sure if its impossible for shezzarine to be mer, but I would imagine lorkhan would favor man to represent his actions. my conclusion then is that   nerevar (nor his incarnation) are in fact an embodiment/emissary/champion of lorkhan.

as for the hero of kvatch becoming sheogorath (or at least gaining the title of Daedric prince of madness) it never really made much sense then that you see the original sheogorath in Skyrim and not the hero of kvatch. so did the real sheogorath just come back at some point in the 200 years and kick the hero of kvatch off his isles? or perhaps thats why he was on "vacation" in the first place, because the hero of kvatch is still there running things until the dovahkiin convinces sheogorath to return home?

some of these mysteries could be results of dragon breaks (I feel that is how bethesda may officially deal with the Empire V Stormcloak war in future games if they don't do something more final with a DLC) however it is definitely impossible for them to litterally be the same person as we know nerevarine and the hero of kvatch were alive at the same time. time is more maleable to the spirits and aetherius however, so the thought of 2 people sharing the same (extremely heroic) soul at the same time is not completely out of the question, though evidence points against it... If you watch a video on youtube the person who does Sheogorath's voice HAS stated that the Hero of Kavatch/Champion of Cyrodiil had become Sheogorath through the power of the Wabaajak. (sorry for any Mistakes) Talos is said to have mantled Lorkan but that is murky.(I would like to point out he did become a god because if he didn't you would not have been able to finish Oblivion as in the main story it requires you to gather the blood of a divine) If you go by lore the Nerevarine is most likely a Dark Elf, Dragonborn Nord, Hero of Kavtch Imperial. (Never played Arena or Daggerfall would like to though. But these are the default characters of the three games Morrowind Oblivion and Skyrim. These are the races that are depicted as you just start the game) So unless it is divine intervention than there is little to no chance of any of these hero's being related. Here is the Video.
