I was wondering if I could run an ethernet cable from my router inside to my shed and connect it to another router so I can have ethernet and wifi in my shed.

just use a switch and access point in the shed instead of a router. you would have to make sure you get all the router specific settings turned off and some routers don’t let you do that. if you are unsure about it, access point and switch is much simpler.
Thats a bit more money though
not really. a gigabit unmanaged switch is about 10 quid these days and you can get older enterprise access points from Aruba for about 15 quid on eBay. or a slower consumer unit from TPLink on Amazon for about the same price.
Almost all home routers are really just switches, and you can run them in switch mode. What you want to do is fine as long as the run isn’t too long. 100 meters is the max
