I've started to suspect I'm about to be sacked, what do I do? Obviously prepping CV and applying for new stuff, but any advice?

Tidy up emails and delete any personal files/belongings (particularly if you may be asked to leave pronto). Read your employment contract. Don't just accept it but ask questions. The above you can do later. When it happened to me, I wish I would have challenged, not left and spoken to the senior. Maintain your composure. Good luck.

Print an export of your address book. But G_d forbid. Do not. Under any circumstances forward bank property over email. Then you will be sacked and without a pretty little severance package.

Unfortunately I know many intelligent people who have fallen foul of this..... On feeling ignored, get over it. Seriously. Absolutely everyone is primarily worried about themselves. So it may just be that your managers ( who have never been trained to manage or to teach) are stressed / in their own world and haven't yet recognised your talent. Remember you're cheap which offers real protection. Key is not to be annoying. Learn what you can and try to add value every day. For the first year or so you won't add hardly any - but that's ok. They're investing in you because in time, once the apprenticeship period is over, you will be adding real value and that becomes your protection.

I had a behavioral interview with a manager from another team and a case study with the hiring manager. They both took notes as I gave my answers but the first manager was very disinterested from the get go and was distracted as he kept looking away from the screen.

I’m wondering how much influence the first manager has since I’m not sure what he’s writing

My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
