I have an iPhone 4; just signed up for the Large (6GB) Plan, which includes a Personal Hotspot.
I have wifi in my house.
If I buy an iPad Mini (wifi only), and am in an area with no wifi, can I tether my iPhone to the iPad Mini?
The mobile hotspot is a great feature to have with your phone Vondergraf. It really comes in handy when there is no wifi available. You are will definitely be able to use the phone hotspot to get internet on your tablet when you are on the go. You will just turn the hotspot on with the phone. Then turn on the wifi with the tablet, find the iPhone network in the list of networks, click on it and connect. The data usage with the hotspot will deduct out of your 6GB data plan.

That's great, thanks!
When I purchase the iPad Mini (wifi only), does it have to be added to my plan?
No your iPad doesn't have to be added to your account. It is wifi only so it's not something Verizon can charge you for.
My iPhone 4 is 16GB; since I'll be syncing photos, contacts, etc, is it necessary to get an iPad with more than 16GB?
My husband and I are on the same Verizon account. In his settings, there is no Personal Hotspot listed. Am I the only one with the Hotspot?
If need be, how would he use his iPhone to connect to my Hotspot?
I appreciate your concerns! You may need to head into Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot on your husbands device to enable.
