Looking to run AAD Sync soon
Thanks for the help. It looks like I am striking out. I can see that it IS picking up deltas from the domain, but when it comes to the export portion, nothing is actually being written to Azure.
In Synchronization Service, I do a FULL IMPORT, and I can see 8 UNCHANGED, and 1 UPDATE (The update is a user I added to the OU)
Immediately following is an EXPORT, but there are 0 adds, updates, renames, deletes, or delete adds
So I feel like I am getting closer, but not quite there yet. There are no errors though.

Easiest way to test is to create a new test user to the synced OU and see whether it is synced to cloud or not.
You can see the what happens under the hood if you start the Synchronization Service app (aka miisclient) and see the operations tab. There are export events with your Office 365 tenant name, click that and you'll see how many objects are created/updated/deleted.
The password is updated from on-prem to existing cloud user only if the users are matched during the sync (same upn/email).
Do not run the those import etc. in Synchronization Service, you might end up messing everything. Instead, to manually run the synchronization, use the following PowerShell cmd:
Start-AdSyncSyncCycle
Because you have tried to sync things directly from the Synchronization Service, run the full-sync first time:
Start-AdSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial
Edit: After running the PowerShell cmd, you can follow the progress in Synchronization Service
