Currently running High Sierra on my iMac. But I bought a brand new MacBook Pro, I still want all the same programs/files/etc on it., just with newer OS obviously.
If I do a backup of my current iMac, will it change the new MacBook's OS to High Sierra as well?
No it will not. I assume your new Mac has Catalina. If your old programs are 32 bit they will not work. If you use TM to restore your old files it will put all including your 32 bit apps but they will show as non compatible.
