- If you just want to share a single folder from a document library, you could click on the three dots, select "Share" and then switch to the option "Who would you like this link to work for"->"Anyone with the link". Then you have a public link that anyone can access without authenticating.

Then create a Power Automate flow that is triggered by a new entry on that form.
The Flow can now ask for your approval and create a guest user afterwards that it can give permissions to your site to.
