non-canonical URL error messages, Google Search console, and sitemaps

Hi, I have a question about domains and sitemaps in Google Search console. I just noticed there are two slightly different versions of my domain name listed under properties. One is the name of my website without the URL prefix and the other is the full https address. The former is listed as the domain property. Secondly, there are two sitemaps listed on the domain property: one with the "www" prefix and one without. On the second property, there's one submitted sitemap. The URL shown is /sitemap.xml.

First of all, is it normal to have two variations of my domain listed under properties? Secondly, I believe one of those sitemaps is resulting on a non-canonical URL error message for multiple pages on my website. Should I remedy the problem by deleting one of the above listed sitemaps? Thanks very much in advance!
