Can someone please explain what's the connection between this and LSP? For example in Helix can one use this instead of various language servers?

Tree-sitter is merely a tool for generating an AST for a given language. LSPs on the other hand have way more capabilities (formatting, diagnostics, project-wise go to definition, inlay hints, documentation on hover, etc.) as you can see in its specification.[0] They can't really replace one another.
