Answer 1

To enable the Internet, you need to make sure to enable USB Tethering. This option will enable Data connection on your phone and it will stream it to the available (connected) devices. You need to have an active data plan in order to use this feature. If the phone is connected through WiFi, there is no possibility to stream the Internet connection received from the WiFi network.

Don't get lost in these complexities, I give you a better option. Install Folder Lock for Android in your Android tab. Enter the app after the formalities of password and all. Switch on your WiFi and tap on the option of PC/Mac in the app. Just enter the address that it gives in your computer's browser and your Android device will be connected to your PC or Mac without any cable.
