Please consider that the nodes ketu and rāhu¹ move in a counter-clock-wise motion. Do they ever move clock wise ( Some call sunwise) ? Yes. The difference is true node vs. mean node calculations. Yet 'true node' calculations are for specific inquiries.
And the standard movement within the zodiac (rāśicakra) is clockwise for all the remaining grāhaka¹. Do they go backwards ? At times, and this is retrograde motion; yet the moon and sun are never retrograde ( as we know).
