Does NetBeans have an equivalent to Visual Studio's Live Server?
Depends what you mean by that. NB does have auto-refresh of static files
(this should work out of the box, just refresh the page). Java EE apps
can also auto-deploy on save (a project option). And if you change a
body of a Java function you can do quick deploy and don't even have to
refresh the page to use a new version of the changed API, just click
again (very convenient if state is in the browser partially).
There are various watch tools and auto-refresh tools for JavaScript that
don't need IDE at all. But that depends on how you build JS. You can for
example use VS Code + Live Server for frontend and NetBeans for backend.
