SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
You can have it in the same repo. Just don't do any weird stuff where you are importing backend into frontend or something like that. But the best way would be to set up a Monorepo, that way you could have shared packages and the tools manages the dependencies. There a few build tools you can choose to help with this. Turborepo and NX are the most popular. But honestly these are complex to configure yourself.

I'm not sure if it's the "right way" as this is my first full stack MERN app, but here is a link to how I set mine up. Just as you described. One gitignore at the root, and the client and server folders are separate.
