If I use iCloud Drive to backup the Docs folder on my Mac, and I don’t have an internet connection, will the original documents still be on my Mac, ot do I need to decide if I want them one place or the other?

The original documents will stay on Mac when you have turned on iCloud Drive and desktops and documents box is checked https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchle5a61431/10.14/mac/10.14
but you can move them to a different location https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl1a02d711/10.14/mac/10.14
Move items to your Mac and remove them from iCloud Drive
Or the second method is - when the internet connection is essential .
 If you open system preferences > iCloud and uncheck the box of iCloud Drive a pop up window appears , showing to keep a copy of documents , and remove from the Mac .

Info. only.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Mobile Documents to see the files.Â
