Because this is a huge topic I'll cover the basics first:
Yes, you can connect your AWS network (your VPC) to your on premises network so that you can send traffic back and forth transparently. Essentially, you can make your AWS VPC (or multiple VPCs) an extension of your existing network. Whether commands are sent from AWS to on premises; or the other way around - doesn't matter; then network can make that work.
Generally speaking - when customers first start with AWS - they use a Site-to-Site VPN to connect their existing network to AWS. https://aws.amazon.com/vpn/
For a more reliable connection (that doesn't go across the internet) or for when dedicated bandwidth is required, customers use Direct Connect.
If you're connecting to a single VPC in AWS that's all you need. If you are connecting to multiple VPCs then you're probably going to need Transit Gateway. It works with both VPN and Direct Connect.
Once connectivity has been established, you can use Route 53 Resolver to get DNS working between your existing network and AWS.
In shameless self-promotion but probably way more detail than you need right now, watch this: https://youtu.be/X_4ekgRc4C8
