1) If you have an Android device (from 2.2 or rooted 2.1), you can enable Wifi tethering and Ubuntu recognize it instantly; then you insert the shared password and you're done; if you want to connect exclusively by bluetooth, then you should take a look to these 2 offical guides:

If you have an iPhone, here is a program that lets you tether with it:

2) When you plug in a network cable connected to a router, Ubuntu recognize it without problems and you can browse the internet after less than one second; so I think this should be a problem with your router or external modem.
