The Personal Conflict drawback lets me grab either Totemic Aura or Totemic Presence as a bonus talent. The Domain Spheres class feature gives me Totemic Aura AND Personal Conflict. Can I still select Totemic Presence as my bonus talent from Personal conflict, or is Domain Spheres intended to be making the decision for me?

...It could've been worded better, but I think it's saying that Totemic Aura is the bonus talent you get for having Personal Conflict, and you must choose it. Note the later part where it says you can get Totemic Aura without the drawback if you already have the War Sphere, and if you already have the Sphere and that talent, you can just choose any other Talent instead.
The implication here is that you should only be getting the equivalent of one bonus talent. That is, either one talent, or two talents and a drawback. If you could select Totemic Presence, you're getting more power than intended.

Yep. The idea is that you use Fervor if you want to swift action a totem on yourself, which is what Totemic Presence lets you do. I would not consider it unbalanced if the GM let you take totemic presence instead, however.
