Hi sir/madam,
welcome to health care magic,

i can certainly understand your concern about the nodule on the back of your neck, yes , there is a possibility that because of pink eye , cervical lymphnodes ie lymph nodes around the neck may get enlarged , and appear as nodule which may also be associated with fever. if it is associated with fever, you must get the biopsy of lymph node and blood tests including WBC to rule out any infection and needs immediate evaluation.

If I were your treating doctor, I would advise you to get these tests done immediately

post your further questions if any
thank you.
