Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.

The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

Stop using the same Apple ID for iCloud.

Each of you need your own Apple ID for iCloud.
