New MacBook Air cannot find and connect with any Bluetooth devices that are powered and in use by other laptops in the house. When I option/shift click the Bluetooth icon I don't get the full drop-down menu with a debug option.

About "Reset the Bluetooth Module":
See my User Tip: Use "Reset the Bluetooth module" to Fix Constant Bluetooth Disconnections - User Tip. Looking at my first comment on it, recommended to Apple that they bring this option back. They canned Rest the Bluetooth Module in Monterey's release.
What else to do:
Try the following, in the order provided...
[Hold Down: shift key, upon boot], In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait for 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another sync.
What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log int it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your macOS.
as a last resort...

Important: First, Back Up your Mac:
Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall. Take this as a learning experience, knowing to always create a backup of your Mac, prior to making any major changes to it (i.e. update installation)

Bluetooth devices are configured to be paired to only one computer at a time.
The problem is they're all too close to each other. The solution as Lanny alludes to: buy a BT device for each Mac, MacBook Pro/Air or whatever.
Or use wired mice and KBs where possible.
