As your pre_get_posts function stands, you’ll have that conflict as you are using pre_get_posts very carelessly. pre_get_posts modifies the query variable object before the main query AND WP_Query is executed. So any changes in your function will influence both the main query and any custom query that uses WP_Query. That is why everything is haywire … Read more
I would suggest that you scrap everything that you have and go back to the default loop on your archive page. Custom queries are always troublesome on archive pages. Use pre_get_posts to alter the query vars before the main query is executed. This way, you won’t have any unnecessary queries and problems with pagination. You … Read more

Your problem is your naming convention. Look at the Template Hierarchy. The archive- prefix is reserved for date and custom post type archive pages. You are using this as prefix to a page template This is not only confusing to humans, but to WordPress as well. For page templates you should be using the page- … Read more
You could use in_array() with get_queried_object_id(): if( is_category() && in_array( get_queried_object_id(), $archive_categories ) ){ echo ‘stuff’; } else { theme_loop(); }
