Nodejs is not used. In the backend, the server used is Yaws, which is developed in Erlang, one of the first languages completely aimed at competing applications.

On the front, there is no specific technology. Apparently, everything is developed in-house. Note only the use of Material Design, flex-box (when supported), Reactjs, Modernizr (to identify what the browser supports), Momentjs, Velocityjs in animations.

About editors, etc., I believe there is no specific one. Facebook does not restrict its employees to a specific editor or IDE. Only the flow of tests and IC of them that is mandatory (remember that Facebook bought Whatsapp).
