You have to "match" the users, either via Primary SMTP Address (soft match) or via objectGUID (hard match). Here are links with more detail:

There's no rolling back, the accounts will be "linked". You can always backup any email/documents first.

There is no "matching" process for groups, if you want to manage them centrally you'll have to sync them, and optionally remove the cloud-created ones.

@Vasil Michev thank you for your help , i have a question if I choose hard match sync one by one , and I saw in Office 365 have two SMTP:**** (ok one is SMTP:old.email@olddomain.com they do not use just received email) and one X400: or X500 what is it ?
thank you

Hard-match is based on the objectGUID, not SMTP. Soft-match is for primary SMTP address, so the capital-case SMTP address.
