1Password 8 is a membership only with no standalone vaults. You can continue to use 1password 7 if you wish. 1Password 7 and 8 use different data sets, but the underlying structure is the same, so there would be no issues moving back and forth, data-wise. That said, is not the greatest experience when trying to run both simultaneously (same device). I do it to help users, but I typically keep 8 open and only open 7 when absolutely necessary. Confusion with the browser extension comes to mind, especially with the browser lock state. I would encourage you to use 1Password 8. We always recommend using the latest version available. But yes, you can use 7.

If you are using standalone vaults in 7, you would not see them in 8. 8 has no support for them. If you are using a membership, there would be less of a chance of encountering issues. Both 7 and 8 can make use of a membership.
