When I connect the texture node to background node via color, I don’t get to see a preview of those textures on my screen. Why is that?

HDRI is used by the full render.
Viewport renders need to have enabled the ‘Scene World’ tick box to use it.

Pink means Blender can not find the images you asked it to use.
Most often this is as a result of you tidying up files and moving them!
Just renavigate to the image files.
