Yes, them having access in that way would only give them an internet
connection on the face of it - though consider, see above, what they
might be using it for. However, once they are "into your 'phone" by
wifi, can they access e. g. its configuration settings, as a web page
for example?
no.
I don't know how 'phones-as-hotspots work: I know I can
change some settings in my home _router_ in such a way, but maybe
'phones don't give access to such settings other than to the person
actually holding them?
a router and a phone are very different devices.
