well unfortunately we were all new at one time, and it just takes time and a lot of reading to get comfortable with this stuff, so what I would suggest is you read those links that were posted and also get on youtube and watch some video's of people rooting their phone, just do a search for your phone, i.e. how to root evo 4g.

Your best bet is to root the phone and use a custom rom that removes all that stuff that Sprint puts on the phone and then feel free to tether and use hotspot, I wouldn't worry to much unless you are roaming and using a lot of data and voice, just got a letter from Sprint complaining that I used over 300mb of roaming data in a month.
