Right click file in either file browser / document browser and copy path of the first file. _. paste it in meld Right click file in either file browser / document browser and copy path of the second file. _. paste it in meld

and then do the comparison.

Can I currently get the path of an open file?

Depends on which context you will need to path. E.g. you could copy it from File->Properties

If you actually need this for version control issues, say SVN or GIT, then you may want to have a look at the GeanyVC plugin [1]. You can configure it so that it directly opens the files in meld. :)
