Advice on how to consolidate multiple calendars
The office license doesn't matter as long as it has the option to enable the new calendar experience. I would remove it and add it back.
You could get MFCMAPI and look at the data file - is the calendar listed? I had a problem a few months ago where some of the calendars had the hidden flag set. And in looking at my calendars... had it today - the Indians calendar was hidden - double click on untick Boolean then click ok.
This article shows where to look - you'll be unhiding, not hiding. (I suspect the hiddden flag is set when you remove a calendar - if you add it back, it will remain hidden.)

Also, is there someway to get the booked times from my other work account (Work2), an O365 account, to reflect as busy on my O365 school account?

If busy state should sync, but it won't show on your main calendar (or in your free/busy) unless you copy the appointments to it.
Diane_Poremsky_MVPI've downloaded MFCMAPI and gone through the instructions you linked to, but having trouble finding any sign of my work calendar. There's a fair amount of material to look through, so I can't tell if I just haven't found it yet or if isn't there. Before I did this I disabled and enabled the new calendar experience again, but no change.

I'm not following this. If the busy state syncs, why wouldn't it show up in my free/busy?
On this one, my main goal right now is to try to get the sync to go towards the GSuite account. People at this firm are making appointments with me all the time without asking for my availability, simply because they only see the one calendar. I have a fair number of meetings each day, many of which end up getting rescheduled, so trying to do this manually is bound to run into problems.

When you add the calendar, you'll see it as a separate calendar - if you are doing this so people can check your calendar and see if you are available, they will only see the appointments on your default calendar. That is the only calendar that is used for free/busy. Subscribed calendars are for your reference only.
If you need everything on one calendar, you will need to use a different method - 3rd party utility or macro to copy the events to one calendar.
Diane_Poremsky_MVPThanks, that makes more sense. Final clarification I hope, the separate calendar is just for "other" calendars, right? When I go to OWA and "Add a personal calendar" and use that to add in my GSuite account, that seems to actually get added to my main calendar instead of being an overlay, assuming that means that those events are showing as busy to anyone with access to my free/busy times, even though for whatever reason they still don't show up in desktop Outlook?
