What you are trying to achieve doesn't take a lot of ressources, so if it is possible on a Arduino nano, it is possible on a Raspberry Zero (in terms of ressources)
Then, you will have to drive the LEDs from the Raspberry, for that you will have to use GPIO. GPIO can simply, and in an Arduino way be used with WiringPi. It's a library that allow you to use ...

You have multiple ways of protecting yourself if you feel paranoid....
LEARN USING LINUX: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
this will disable your wlan ...
