Are these “galaxies” light that has long since been gone, but is just reaching Webb because of the time and distance????

Yeah, from billions of earth years ago.

The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, so a 10-year mission at the speed of light is feasible. But the nearest galaxy is millions of light years away (2.5 million I think).

So, travelling at "just" the speed of light isn't nearly fast enough to explore much of anywhere. We're gonna need a faster spaceship.
