I can't find a good guide to create a simple input, that allows the user to submit his email and add it to a user's email's database in WordPress and also auto send the user a confirm email.

I'm building a theme in WordPress from scratch, and I'm using PHP and jQuery plus Bootstrap (not that it's important).

Although this is not the place for plugin recommendations, there are several 'subscriber' plugins available in the repository. I've used the "Email Subscribers" plugin for a while. It works well, although there was some difficulties with it when they did a major revision to their version 4. (Which is a tale about fully testing code.)

If you don't want a plugin, then you will have to write your own code. A bit complex to describe here. But there are many 'googles' (or 'bings' or 'ducks') that can help you with the process. So start there.
