Is there a tool where I can enter my Lego pieces and it tells me what sets I might have?

Yes! I just did this with 25000 pieces I got on FB market place.
Identifying what you can build: You want: https://rebrickable.com/
Then you can search for what you can build - filtering by exact colours/close matches/any.
You can also filter only official sets, alternative builds for official sets and MOC (make own creation - builds other people have come up with - both paid and free)
Identifying Parts: Finally as someone who took weeks adding all my parts and only discovered this app in the last few days...
https://brickognize.com/
This website you can take a photo of any one piece and it will give you the part number so you don't have to hunt for it on the rebrickable parts list. It is astonishingly accurate!
Other tips: Sort your parts first. I went through 2 key stages...
With rebrickable you can just select 1x2 brick and add 10 black and then just quickly change number and color to 8 green etc. So colour's are not worth sorting til the very end!!
Plus identifying all the green 1x2s in a pile of 1x2s is a LOT easier than identifying all the 1x2 greens in a huge pile of green stuff.
I'll stop now as it's becoming a wall of text but any questions feel free to ask!
Thank you so much! I guess first I need a nice way to sort all the pieces. I’ll need to look up some advice on that.
Good thing that I have some vacation coming up.
For me it looked like tupperware city... Every old plastic container I could find.
This was helpful to me although says much more than needed - for a TLDR just scroll down to the example with the red bricks being categorised into big groups and then broken down again. (I can't emphasize enough though doing things by color is horrendous 😅)
There isn't anything on here I don't think but I do think there is r/Legostorage (might not have remembered the name perfectly) which has tonnes of good ideas and advice. Ultimately after you have added all the parts you are going to want to store them in a meaningful way to actually get them quickly.
