If I don’t cut out the oleander, will it strangle the fig tree? I didn’t plant it, it popped up out of nowhere, but I want to keep the fig tree. I’m willing to cut out the oleander if it will be a problem.

I will always suggest removing oleander. It’s spreads so quickly and is stinky and sticky and toxic.  
…and I’m allergic and therefore biased!  
Oleander grows more quickly than figs, so even if it doesn’t strangle the fig, it certainly won’t do it any favors.

Oleander will grow aggressively so feel free to cut it back aggressively. You could cut it to frame the fig
