Water went in nose
I came from morning shift and was brushing my teeth but while rinsing with water when I spit out the water in basin today, quite a lot of water bounced back in my nose as I guess I spat out by near the floor of basin. What are the chances that the water can go up deep into the nasal passages like to the sinuses or the olfactory nerves? Can I get N Fowleri infection like this?

No you will not cause N Fowleri infection and water can never go that deep into sinuses as entry is not that open from nose to sinuses
Further olfactory nerves are hidden inside turbinates of nose
So not even minimal chances so don't worry
