You need a data plan to tether. Some few lucky people got around it by entering internet2.voicestream.com - which is a glitch really. But if that doesn't work then you're just gonna have to pay the $10/month.

but if i pay the 10$ a month cant i just use that as my data plan and use safari and cydia and stuff regularly

Yes, but that's not the point of tethering.

You use tethering when you're on a laptop or PC when you don't have a readily available internet connection. Again, you have to have a cellular data plan.

Both.

Data plan is for the phone. Internet tethering is to allow/share the phone's internet with a compatible device.
