I am trying to combine the audio from my microphone (either built in

I don't know much about Linux audio internals and wasn't sure how to
do this. Can I do this completely via the operating system using
Pulse Audio? Do I need to do something with Jack? Or do I need
specialized software such as OBS, Ardour or Reaper?
OBS is probably the easiest way. You can add your local video if needed as well. OBS will work fine with just pulse or jack. I don't know much about jitsi it self but if it uses pulse as the default device there should be no problem.
I just checked the Jitsi Meet using Chromium (they recommend Chrome/Chromium, apparently Jitsi uses some newer streaming standards that Firefox either doesn't fully support or is just simply too slow). For microphone, it offers my USB headset, USB audio, Builtin and Pulseaudo JACK source. Which I remember I do have Pulseaudio set up here feeding to JACK sink. Output include the preceding plus PA Jack sink.
I think that means you could have either your streaming audio going into it, or your microphone, but not both.
FWIW, I just tried using the PA
Jack Source as my "microphone" input. Not a sound, even with
music playing into it. So, good luck. If you can do live
streaming on YouTube, I suppose you could live stream your audio
that way and play the YT URL in Jitsi.
