I recently bought Asus Rog with a US ANSI keyboard. It doesn't have a < > button between the Z and shift buttons. How can I write < or > on this keyboard using an Estonian EST ET keyboard layout?

I think your Estonian keyboard is the
variant
where typing Shift+, gives ;
while
Shift+. gives :.
But < and > both seem totally missing, unless you use
their ALT-codes (Alt-60/62) to enter.
For a more elegant solution I suggest using the free AutoHotkey.
The following 2-lines AutoHotkey script will map
Alt+, to < and
Alt+. to >.
This will make those keys agree with your displayed keyboard, except
that you will be using the
Alt key instead of Shift.
!,::Send, <
!.::Send, >
After installing AutoHotKey, put the above text in a .ahk
file and double-click it to test. You may stop the script by
right-click on the green H icon in the traybar and choosing
Exit. To have it run on login, place it in the Startup group at
C:\Users\USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
Useful AutoHotkey documentation:

I had the same problem. Nordic and many other european keyboard layouts have an extra key between the left shift and the Z key. You can use Keyboard Manager in the Microsoft PowerToys app on Windows.
Create a new Shortcut Mapping. Enter your desired key combination and select to send the character '<' as text (not Key/Shortcut option). And add other shortcuts for other characters the same way. For example, I created: Ctrl + Shift + ',' as shortcut for '<'.
Another way is to add the US keyboard layout in Windows and then change between keyboard layouts by pressing the Win+Space.

Try pressing one of these with the shift key held down:
They are in between the 'M' and '?/' key near the right shift.
