When I open the file I want, it retains the current folders from the new
file. It only opens the archive from the new file. I'm assisting a
coworker, this is not my computer. I guess I'm not sure how Outlook works.
Question: is the archive file and current folders stored in the same PST
file
or are they separate? Possibly, I only have the archive file, and I'm
opening that on the new computer. Just a thought.

Archive PSTs are separate from the active PST. Usually, archive PSTs are
named "Archive.PST", but it's not a requirement. I think you did copy only
the archive PST from the old PC.
