You Mac has built-in Recovery Mode.
If you deleted the disk based version, it is supposed to fall through to the Internet-based version and load the additional tools from the Internet. This will allow a Mac with nothing on its drive to install a fresh copy of macOS:
Use macOS Recovery on an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support

Might be hard. This article:
Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support
says this about the format of the boot drive:
I've not used Windows since Win 7 was hot potatoes on a silver palter, so I don't know if you can use Win to format the USB drive.
Have any Mac-driving friends?
you should have included at least two more lines of that screenshot of "what you need"
sorry, you cannot. you need a compatible Mac to download macOS and / or create a bootable macOS installer.
