How does that typically work? Do the office screens go blank or mirror what I’m doing? Wondering if someone say at my desk could they essentially watch me work

If you remote desktop then yes the people at the machine can see. But typically when you connect via VPN it just gives you access to resources at work as if the computer you are using were there, so you aren't controlling another computer.

Ask someone you trust to turn your monitors off.

So if I’m using VPN they can’t sit at my desk and watch me work?

Not typically. RDP usually sets the remote PC at the windows login screen while being remoted in to

I see everything exactly like my desktop is setup. It’s like my desktop is on my laptop

RDP: No
LogMein, TeamViewer or the like: Yes ( but those normally have a button to "black" or "blank" the remote screen )

Remote Desktop is true remote login, remote assistance is a screen share.
