Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?
Technically you can run Node.js in the browser right now now.
-
Can you use JavaScript to create an app that installs Node.Js then deploys the (or an) app?
Here is an example of downloading Node.js, extracting node executable, compiling to WASM to use node in the browser https://github.com/cemalgnlts/now.

What sorts of things would you consider to be “advanced” javascript concepts?
Just to demonstrate how finicky folks on this r/learnjavascript are: I shared this Node on Web. Use Nodejs freely in your browser with Linux infrastructure. here and on r/node. r/node folks get it, that is, the work that had to go in to making that a reality. Folks on this r/learnjavascript evidently don't get the effort it took to make that so, after StackBlitz announced "... run Node.js, entirely inside your browser" only to walk back from that claim here https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core/issues/658#issuecomment-1091004244 "We currently do not expose a way to use WebContainer outside of StackBlitz.com".

IT department refuses to let me install Python and other programs/languages I need for my job.
For running programming languages other than JavaScript in the browser there is Emscripten and WebAssembly. There is v86, where a Linux build is compiled to WASM. Folks have written QuickJS into a Linux build compiled to WASM, Node.js into the Linux buildroot https://github.com/cemalgnlts/now, so Python or CPython can be written to the image and loaded into the browser as WASM as well https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide.

"Wasm Workers Server (wws) is an open source tool to develop and run serverless applications server on top of WebAssembly. The applications are composed by multiple modules called workers. Each of these tiny modules is in charge of replying to a specific HTTP endpoint in your application." Wasm Workers Server, "JavaScript Workers based on JavaScript work out of the box with Wasm Workers Server. The server integrates a JavaScript interpreter compiled into a WebAssembly module. Currently, the interpreter we support is quickjs and we are working on adding new ones." JavaScript
