If YOU did not deliberately Install it, it should go. It is NOT part of MacOS.
If it is currently running, you can move it to the Trash, but not empty the Trash until after a Restart.

If it turns out to be adware you can remove it with the only other third-party utility (other than EtreCheck) most of us trust: MalwareBytes.
It was developed by one of our most respected and long-server contributors here to effectively screen for and remove adware that gets installed because a user either does not see or does not heed OSX warnings about potential malware about to be installed. Unlike most utilties it DOES NOT interfere with protection schemes already built into Mac OS.
I trust it NOT to remove something important. Get it only from the developer's site: https://www.malwarebytes.com
The free version scans manually and should be fine your current situation. The pay-for version adds real-time protection.
It is a third party app. I would destroy it, completely.
When it is "legal" you will be noticed by the application or equipment that needs it and you can decide whether you need it or not and download or not.
Does anyone know if this is adware or anything? Should I remove this file from my MacBook Pro?
I asked an Apple Support member and they said it may be part of Disk Utility.
They were just assuming that it may be. Should I keep it just in case?
Well I have Disk Utility, as has every Mac and I don't have that app anywhere on my Mac.
Malwarebytes scanned my laptop but no threats were found. Is it necessary to delete UtilityOs?
So is UtilityOs a third party app? It's in my Library folder though, not applications. Should I delete it?
Malwarebytes scanned my laptop but no threats were found.
That simply means that it’s a variant Malwarebytes doesn't know about...
A google search here finds no mention of a UtilityOS.app. Personally I'd trash it. It looks suspicious.
"Malwarebytes scanned my laptop but no threats were found. Is it necessary to delete UtilityOs?"
YES it is necessary.
What is the UtilityOS file on my MacBook?
