Answer 1

You’re question isn’t clear but Nextjs will help for frontend and backend.
Make sure you know reactjs before attempting to learn Nextjs.
I asked chatgpt and this what it responded:

Next.js is primarily a front-end framework for building user interfaces with React. However, one of the powerful features of Next.js is its ability to support server-side rendering and generate static websites. This means that while traditionally associated with the front-end, Next.js also incorporates some features typically associated with back-end development, such as server-side logic and routing.
It's worth noting that while Next.js can handle some tasks normally dedicated to the back-end, for a complex application involving database operations, user authentication, and other server-side operations, you would typically still need a separate back-end built with Node.js, Python, Ruby, etc.
