No pair from the United States in the men's.

Wow, would not have guessed that either.  Looks like the top ranked teams are #21 and #43.  Although that's with a limited number of tournaments played, so they'll be able to jump up the rankings as they start playing more

Yeah maybe they focussed on the American competition (ATP?) instead of the international Pro Tour. But it's still noticeable that on the women's side the US pairs were much more present. I don't see Schalk/Brunner or Crabb/Bourne climbing into the top 10 easily, but top 17 should be doable for at least one mens pair.

I agree, now that Olympic quotas are on the line, I imagine the US teams will show up more often in the Pro Tour.

 #18 are no longer a team

You're right. I believe Canada would still get the quota from the points they gathered though, if an inactive team is in a qualification spot. Of course they will no longer be at #18 by the time June 2024 comes around.

I found the FIVB ranking rules and apparently the Finals didn't give any points, the tournament isn't in the points sheet. Anyone knows something more?

I hadn't found any official rules and simply assumed it would count, because the qualification period started and the Beach Pro Tour is the official world cup system. Do you have a link to the page/document maybe?
