DotNet vs Nodejs for first backend language
knowing how the web & HTTP works. at a high level that is, you dont need to be able to write http request by hand or anything but subjects like status codes, idempotency and JSON are musts
And start learning how to build web API's. when working in back-end (which was your goal if i got it correct) being able to make API's is pretty important. Also try to learn how to use some tools like swagger or postman
these are some essentials for back-end development that if you get the hang of it you can directly transfer between languages. Databases and queries is also a important subject but that's not specifically related to .net or node so i left that out

What is the best way to return errors in api controllers?
im not taling about http status code but rather just errors in general.
lets say i got a endpoint for registering a user. but it first checks if the username isnt already taken.
how do i best return that error in case the username is already taken?

CLI tool with access to connection strings?
yes ofcourse. working alone on the project on my development machine (which was my senario) its not a problem but when shipping this to clients please do not use this as @ded said already, never ever give client applications connection strings
