I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

Also run the reverse proxy on a dedicated box for it in the DMZ
Honestly you can usually just static ip the reverse proxy and open up a 1:1 port mapping directly to that box for 80/443. Generally not relevant to roll a whole DMZ for home use and port mapping will be supported by a higher % of home routing infrastructure than DMZs.
In a perfect world, yes. But not as a beginner, I guess?
It's beginner level, the hard part is the reverse proxy, once you have a grasp on that just having it on a dedicated box in a segmented portion on your firewall designated as the DMZ is easy. Id even go so far as to say its the bare minimum if you're even considering exposing to the internet.
It doesn't even need to be all that powerful since its just relaying packets as a middleman
