RViz2 sends the goal to the action server of Nav2. Nav2 uses the feedback function of the action server to give the ETA (among other things).

The easiest way I know to get access is to write your own action client that also sends the goal to Nav2. That way your node will be the one to receive the feedback messages.

ETA: Actually, you can also simply subscribe to /navigate_to_pose/_action/feedback you can also use ros2 topic echo /navigate_to_pose/_action/feedback to check.
