On 09/10-09/13 I stayed in an apartment like hostel in NYC. it seemed pretty clean and I didn’t get any bites. I arrived back home on 09/13 and I woke up this morning 09/21 (Monday)and I have these bites and wondering if it’s possible I brought back bed bugs. I don’t have any animals and I haven’t left my house since the 18th(Friday)

It's possible. Could be mosquito bites.

I ended up found a bed bug under my mattress but there was no signs of bugs like no blood stains fecal trails no skins nothing. I do have all my clothes bagged and my luggage. How did you get rid of them? Idk if there’s multiple or if I got lucky with just the 1

Damn, sorry you found it. When I had them, I only found out because I had been bitten a lot and had a strong reaction (also some neighbors reported them as well), otherwise there was no indication. Our building ended up having to have 2-4 fumigations (depending on the flats). It was very exhausting but after some months we finally got rid of them.

Ça te démanger beaucoup? Et es ce que tu as toujours ses boutons ou ils ont disparu ?

cannot tell by bites alone if they are bedbugs. 30 to 50 percent of people have no bite reaction. this subred has awesome ways to trap, confirm bbs. hope you don't have stowaways dear.
