Bank 1 O2 is the upstream one poking out of the exhaustmaniforld in fromt of the valve cover. There are methods for cleaning them. I have never tried. A replacement sensor for non v-tec-e engines is not very expensive. Yes, even without throwing a CEL it will mess up FE, since the ECU uses its signal to adjust AFR.
