I want to go online on my desktop using a hotspot from my android phone. The wifi hotspot settings are greyed out and won't allow me to change them. On my phone side, my desktop is detected just fine.
Update: After further research, I finally got from the equivalent of 'Secure, no internet' to 'Connected, secured' but I still can't load any web pages, and I can't connect to Steam. I can now alter the hotspot options, but I don't seem to have any affect, and it shows no devices connected. My only options for sharing are wifi and Local Area Connection.

As for your second request - how exactly am I supposed to accomplish that? The cmd window does not support c/p, but if there is a log generated and I can find it, I can try to upload a text file - or maybe an email. So if there is a log, where is it?
It does if you turn on quick edit
optionally you can
then grab or copy from the two files.
Looks like you may have some combination of USB and wifi tethering. Only use one or the other. What I described above was using wifi tethering. The bottom line is you currently have two enabled network adapters both with gateways which will always cause no end to confusion.
