I have a Azure website that developed using the ASP.Net WebApi2 running in a Standard plan. I was wondering if its possible to host a MQTT broker in the same website so that I don't have to pay anything extra to have this running in azure.
I see that there are some opensource product like Mosca which is a Nodejs application. So I was wondering if anyone has tried to host a nodejs application on the same website as my webAPI application.
alternatively any one has any other way to have a MQTT broker running alongside my WebAPI portal.

You don't have to host your second site in the same website. Just create a new website but when you're choosing the App Service Plan for the site select your pre-existing Standard plan.
You can add as many sites as you like* for free on that plan since they'll all be running on the same VM.
*though at some point you'll start running up against the memory and cpu limits of the VM
