"icloud to photos: Is it possible to take photos from iCloud and have them in the photos app? A bunch of my photos randomly disappeared out of my Photos app, but they are in iCloud drive and I want them back in my photos app is that possible?"

One unique method...

Download All of iCloud:

If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud, and then search what is in there. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. You would then use the Search Bar in a Finder window to browse all of iCloud download. Once found, upload them to iCloud by transferring the Photos to the Photos app and then enabling Photos in iCloud Settings.

Sure.

Open the file in iCloud Drive. Choose the up arrow coming out of the box on top and then Save Image.

What app are you using in the screenshot you presented? A browser? Try using the Files app to access iCloud Drive.
