Remember I'm still learning too
The toast root comes in two parts. Part I has been around for a week or so. This allowed a lot of root access with a major limitation of not being able to write to /system.
Part II dropped last night/yesterday and cleared the path to full root.
You need to do both parts for full root. You're halfway there. I'd suggest going all the way. Fast and his tutorial and videos hold your hand and make it as easy as possible.
IMO just rooting is like opening a locked door and then not walking through.
You MIGHT be able to wirelessly tether on stock ROM, I dont know for sure because I went through all the steps of Part I and went right to OMJ's ROM.
From what I've seen a lot of people do not have Superuser on the stock ROM post root. If you dont then you wont be able to run apps that require root access.
SU stands for Superuser. It is the program/app that grants permission to other apps seeking root access.
The stock ROM was created to run on a non-rooted device. Your best bet is to flash a ROM that was created WITH root in mind. Everything just flows better. This could be a custom ROM (OMJ hint-hint) or the rooted version of stock.
Grab the rooted stock ROM here:

Hope that helps.
Anyone please feel free to school me on anything I've said.
