Node.js has no GUI app. You need to invoke it from the Terminal using the node command to run a JavaScript file.What file did you install it to?

You should just be able to pull up your terminal and type ‘node’. If you don't know what a terminal is you should start with the basics.
Also I recommend you install Homebrew. It's like an installer but you can install lots of things and do it from your command line easily.

Is Node.js javascript mixed with a free server connection? Can I make an MMO on it?No, not at all, Node.js is Javascript in which you make a server or use an existing server module
A server is a computer, that's all.
I know you know client side JavaScript, but do you know HTML (HyperText Markup Language)?
Javascript was made for HTML.
It would be helpful before going deeper into web servers you have at least a basic understanding of HTML, JS, javascript and HTML files, how Javascript integrates with HTML and DOM, and crucial to have a basic understanding of HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).
You likely do, as you know Javascript.

You can also press Applications, Utilities, then Terminal.
In Terminal you type commands, which tell the computer to do something rather than search for it.
Then you can type JavaScript and it will run.
Note that things like window.alert don't work in node.
