Answer 1

If you can see the other computer on Network Neighbourhood, then you can use Microsoft's built-in ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Just click the Network from desktop and then 'Set up a home or small office network'. The wizard should direct you.

Moreover, you can have a look at this

if your router is still in warranty then you can get support from the company that made it 24/7 so check their support website. you can also download the manual for the router and follow the instruction on how to set the router up to the modem. then wire your computers to the router...
