First, are web sockets the same as regular windows sockets?
If not, Do you have to buy the HTML 5 Export version of GMS2 to get access to the web sockets?
Sorry for the noob questions.....

It's an additional layer on top of TCP to make it interoperable with HTML5-facing servers. Read up.

In theory, the functionality has been added since 2.2.4 for all exports. But there is an ongoing bug in the non-HTML5 implementations that prevents it from connecting a properly done WebSocket server, and the fix has been delayed until the 2.3.0 release: #31370
