The formula language does not have access to JavaScript. Formulas evaluate server-side to Now() evaluates to the time a page is initially loaded as you have noted. Script evaluates client-side so it has access to every event the user initiates as well as the time of those events.
You did not mention what you wanted to achieve overall but I would guess the four use cases in this new demo might come very close to what you want:
New Demo: Time On Form

If you need assistance in implementing one of the use cases in this demo (or some other use case) feel free to contact me off-world using the information in my profile:

>And honestly I am such a low coder that this will probably not work.
BTW, don't be so self-deprecating - you can do the code stuff.

Low Code platforms like QuickBase are a great way to learn code.
