What's a good way to respond to sms messages on my phone, through my desktop pc? I do not have wifi, just my phone's usb/tethering connection.

Yes, you do need both devices to be on the same network. USB tethering does just that (your pc connects to your phones internet connection).

I just get this on android.

On the desktop client, it also shows no devices

you could try the hamburger menu in the top right to add your pc with an (network) IP. If you're tethered and that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.
