Can someone please tell me ?

On the iPad Pro in the Files APP there is a Google Drive Folder. I have two accounts in Google so I can have two Google Drive. How can I find out which Google Drive User Id is it associated with ? And how can I change it ?

Also right now I have some Pictures and Files saved it in, so where is it getting saved right now ? I do not see these saved files and Pictures when I log into the Google Drive from my PC. So where is these Current Files and Pictures being stored in the Google Drive in the Files APP of my iPad ?

It will show the same account that you can currently see when using the Google Drive app. When you switch accounts in the Google Drive app then the Files app will also change to display the same files.

But my problem is on the first I don’t know with which ID I have logged into my Google Drive. So you are saying with whatever ID I have logged in the Google Drive on my iPad Pro that same ID would be enabled in the Google Drive in the Files App ?

Tap on your profile picture in the Google Drive app in the upper right corner to see which account you are using.

You can also use this to switch accounts.

I've never seen the "switch accounts" option in the Google Drive app. Am I missing something?
If you log in with multiple Google accounts, you can switch between them in the Google Drive app by tapping the profile picture and thus view the corresponding Drive.

In fact, this works the same way in all Google apps like Photos, Maps, etc.
