It also has these spots on many of the leaves. I was planning to repot and replace the soil, but want to make sure I know what’s going on before doing so. Unsure how often it was watered and how much light it got before I got it. What is this plant? And what is happening?

Keep that plat for away from any others, these spots are not normal and concerning. Am not well versed enough in viral/bacterial plant issues, but that’s what it looks like to me
Looks like a golden pothos or some pothos variety! They are great houseplants! I would give it a repot, place somewhere with bright indirect light, and water 1-2 weeks after of soil is dry! They like to dry a bit between watering, so they are super forgiving if you forget to water. One of my pothos is hanging from the ceiling in a macrame because they grow long vines. They also enjoy smallish pots, when you repot I wouldn’t go too much bigger! Only about 2 inches bigger than the root ball, my guess is this plant looks a bit sad from being too root bound, but you never know until you check! Just get some good well draining soil, root rot is the main problem to avoid! Good luck!!! Pothos are awesome!
Not sure what it is or what’s going on but I would definitely cut off the really badly damaged leaves asap
It’s a type of Epipremnum aureum. There are a few it could be, but it’s stressed, so it will be hard to tell. Idk what’s happening to it. I have never seen anything like that, but I agree with the other comments it’s a bacteria or fungus.

Looks like a pothos, jade and pearls variegation. The spots may be under watering.
Seems like a pothos with mosaic virus. Its a viral infection and can spread, keep it separate from other plants. I might be wrong but the leaves look like infected with one. Mosaic virus cant be treated and infect other plants as well.
I would chop the sick looking parts. Maybe sprinkle cinnamon to the cuts so it doesn’t get further infected at the cuts. And spray with hydrogen peroxide water solution? I am not sure. Never seen this before.
Pothos njoy! Beautiful variety imo next to the marble queen. Trim it up and keep an eye on it. Use a fungicide maybe? Jack copper makes a decent one.
Looks like an N’joy Pothos, but the leaves with the spots are showing signs of a fungal infection.
Fungal infections typically have a black ring that you’re seeing with dying /decayed plant cells inside, and roughly outside because of the fungus. Bacterial infections don’t generally have rings like that and you’ll see them pop up with yellow, or off-colored splotches on leaves.
Cut those leaves off and treat with copper fungicide and monitor the plant health. Make sure to dispose of those leaves properly, and do not put this plant around your other plants until it has shown that it can put leaves out that aren’t infected.
