Shared With not listing external emails shared with
I've tested sharing a file from within SharePoint to 2 external email accounts (a Hotmail and a gmail). When I check advanced > Shared with, it doesn't list any of these. Even in the advanced, the ...
When using the link are you using in-private browser? What happens? It should send you a code, if it's not then your user accounts are listed in your sharepoint site your sharing from in the people and groups view. You can force that view and check it via adding this after your site in the URL, see if your e-mails are in there.

The only way the user will show up in that same way in your screenshot in SPO is if you try to access the link and get the whole prompt for a code experience.
Also to follow up on a way to see what's shared externally, if you go to Site Content page, and click on Site usage link. There is a tab there that will show all files being shared externally. Can give you an overview of what's being shared out anyway.

I'm disabling sharing and copying to OneDrive. No users get codes or use private browsers.
- Basically, if you sent to a brand new never used e-mail, and shared to it with someone that's never accessed your tenant,they will get a prompt to send them a code via e-mail (Just like OneDrive does), they get that code via same e-mail, input, then that user will gain access to the file and it will be logged on that link the same way you showed in your screenshot.
Both OneDrive and SharePoint use the exact same Sharing interface. - You don't have to use private browsers, I'm telling you to use it because you as a tester, can't test without doing it because your local account is cached in the browser for Office 365. Anyway, if that works for you then great.
