It's not time traveling per se, it's more that the Attack Titan poses the power to share memories with the past and future titans, kind of like a hive mind.
Eren himself got a glimpse of his future in that scene from S3 when he kissed Historia, Eren holding the power of the Attack & Founding and coming into contact with Historia's royal blood triggered the future memories of that scene with Grisha and beyond, and as we saw in this ep. Eren knew what he had to do towards that goal, and he influenced Grisha from even before he was a titan! S3E21 in the scene when Grisha is about to get turned into a titan on that dam and exiled to Paradis, he talks to Eren Kruger (the Owl aka the mole in Marley gov who was feeding info to Grisha's rebelion) who possess the Attack Titan at the time said to Grisha: "when you get inside the walls, find someone, start a family....that's what you need to do if you want to save Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else"
Grisha: "Mikasa? Armin? who is that?
Kruger: "I'm not sure, who's memories are those?"π€―π€―
