1. The Lumia 920 does not support wireless ad hoc network which is what Joikuspot does. This is why the it isn't detected.

 

2. Most common reason for this is your network not supporting tethering on your price plan. Contact your network to confirm this.

Yes you do. You need to activate Internet Sharing. You can do so by going to Settings>Internet sharing>slide slider to the "On" position. Note the wifi name and password listed on the screen. you can change both by tapping on the "Setup"
