I think there is a mismatch of expectations here. 1Password does not sync with iCloud Drive. It syncs with CloudKit, which is Apple's database-based storage for apps syncing with iCloud (vs iCloud Drive which is file based). With CloudKit there is no .opvault file or anything you'll find in Finder. The screenshots in your original post indicate you do indeed currently have 1Password data (a vault) stored in CloudKit.
You can clear the existing vault out of CloudKit by selecting Help > Troubleshooting > Reset iCloud Data from the 1Password menu bar. This would allow you to then sync what is currently in 1Password with CloudKit without merging with any other sources. That said, as Ana mentioned above, 1Password.com will be the only available sync option going forward, and so I'd recommend migrating to that as soon as possible to avoid interruption. You can reach our specialists on this situation at support+tradein@1password.com. I hope that helps!
