After some research, I saw that the m50 works with the 430 ex ii flash but can it work wirelessly without a flash trigger? Going to purchase it tomorrow off Facebook so I can use it as an external flash. If the wireless function doesn't work with the EOS m50 what (budget-friendly) flash trigger do you recommend? and do I need to purchase anything else to use it as an external flash instead of the hotshoe?

AFAICT, the M50 internal flash has no wireless capabilities. So you need a flash master.
The cheaper (and much easier to set up!) way to go is to buy a flash extension cord

Be aware that “wireless” can have different meanings when it comes to Speedlites. The older models used line-of-sight light signals to trigger remotes. It is only just in the last several years that radio frequency wireless communication capabilities were added to Speedlites.
