If that's the case, then in what situation would the TP2 be a good candidate to be a wifi to usb dongle then? A device that has no wifi capabilities?

Correct!

Yeah, and even if you disable charging the tp2's battery while connected to usb your tp2 will still use your tablet or whatever you hook it to as it's power source to power the phone. That would be okay as long as you plug your tablet or laptop into an AC outlet.
