It should be useful as actual node since BTCPay documentation show deployment example using Pi 4 4GB, https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/RaspberryPi4/.
This is where things get kind of blurry for me since I can see all of the steps on their website but don't really understand all of the code in their instructions.

Most code command on link i mentioned is about setting the hardware, system and BTCPayServer itself. You should able to find exaplanation or example of most command from google search result.

I am sure that the node could be used for all sorts of queries but I just have no idea how to do all of that...yet.

Assuming you already know how to obtain data from API, you just need to read Bitcoin Core RPC[1] and BTCPay GreenField API[2] documentation.
