I am getting confused in terms of what backend I should be using for next.js. Should I use Nest.js? Express? Trpc? Or should I just use the intergrated server functions?

Next is a full-stack framework and provides almost all the capabilities you'd need. You don't have to integrate an external backend at all if there is no good reason for it.
can I do that with next.js?

Since that requires websockets you need a separate backend or service for the WS features. Depending on what you want to use it can be just a small WS server that clients and your Next server can communicate with.
