I don't pay super close attention to to the lore, but I understood the world of Elden Ring as being sort of a purgatory or a land of the dead. When people died in the Lands Between they returned to the Erdtree and I assumed they would be born again in a different world or something.

The Lands Between is more of a "land of the gods" than a purgatory or land of the dead. It has that in common with Lordran from DS1.

One thing about the Erdtree is that it's not natural or native to this world. It's the result of the Elden Beast crashing down and is a corruption of the Great Tree/Crucible of Life that was there before. It's an instrument of the Greater Will. Souls returning to the Erdtree isn't a natural process. I'm not 100% sure about this part but I don't think souls are sent to the Erdtree to be reborn--I think they're nourishing the Erdtree.

So like the mobile idle game has a conceit where you're running a taxi company pitted against like a silicon valley ride share business, so that might be a place to go for like...a story.

I think it's also possible there was already a big tree and that's why the Greater Will is so interested in the Lands Between to begin with

There was. It's the "Great Tree" which grew over the Crucible of Life. The Erdtree basically usurped that.

I'm an idiot, can you explain this to me

The same thing that effects hollows is happening to Drangleic and the curse on you grows until there is nothing left to consume, same implication as DS1. Its just more pronounced, the outside world is falling apart more explicitly/seemingly more time has passed of things going to poo poo without a linking of the fire because Vendrick refused.

The new expansion will add flying from the start, and you get a dragon mount that you can now customize with new armor, and pick its colors, and other features.
