Is your Seed BIP39 or created in Electrum? (the wallet info in the screenshot is showing "watching-only").

If it's Electrum seed, I'd not bother including the derivation path because Electrum will automatically select the correct derivation path during the wallet restoration process.
The path is already defined in the seed in the form of "version": https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/seedphrase.html

In case it's BIP39, I'd put the derivation path that's displayed in the "Script type Derivation path" window
and a short list of selections like "Standard->I already have a seed->Options->BIP39 seed" in order for the backup to be "ELI5".

Since your address type is P2WPKH (ie. native SegWit) the derivation path that Electrum uses is m/0'/0/ for your main addresses so for example the first address in your wallet is at m/0'/0/0. This path for change addresses is m/0'/1/ which means your first change address is at m/0'/1/0.

derivation path in electrum is 141, because is bip32?

BIP141 is the Segwit specification, most wallets actually use 84 as the index for Segwit. Electrum uses the derivation path as stated, though saving the seed should generally be enough. Only Electrum will be able to restore the seeds and given that it has a version byte, the derivation path wouldn't matter all that much.

89 would be if it were bip39?

my seeds are bip 32.. native segwit.

No. BIP39 is the mnemonic standards for some wallets, Electrum doesn't use BIP39.
