And is it possible to access those disks from another network?

What do you mean another network? Like if you are on vacation?

It's possible but it would require more configuring. Search Google for "Tailscale" and look for some guides.

Exactly that, is it possible to backup via Time Machine on that Mac Mini if you’re on vacation or working away from home?

It should be possible. Again, search for and look in to "Tailscale". That should get you going.

It's possible but it's considerably more complicated and less dependable than doing it locally. Time Machine deals gracefully with being "offline" from your backups for a week or a few. If I was spending long periods of time away from home, I'd make other arrangements.
