Experiment #4 – New interface in 1Password.com’s vault view

for the app version will I have to log in every time I close my browser on desktop computer ? Perhaps have this as an option ? Very annoying to have to do that with the existing interface even though I set auto lock to off.

caps620 If you close your browser, your session on 1password.com will end. This is because 1Password is a different kind of web app than most — it relies on encryption keys that we don't have so that you access your data securely. These keys are available only to you, and there is no safe place for us to store them in your browser so that you can stay signed in. Personally, I'm hopeful that passkeys will make this easier to handle in the future.

Also with the existing app interface when opened it just shows a small window. Will the new version app open to a web page ?

It sounds like you might be talking about our desktop app or browser extension. The new version we're talking about here is a web page just like the old version at https://my.1password.com/vaults/all. We're not replacing the desktop app or browser extension.
