Is it true that Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury?
Yes. A planetary science textbook states directly that present-day Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury, and NASA's Venus fact page says Venus is hotter even than Mercury. A Wikipedia article gives Venus's average surface temperature as 737 K but does not state Mercury's.
