Usb ethernet dongles will not work at all, the current android phones
are usb devices themselves, and do not (yet) support connection to usb
devices, only to usb hosts.

The usb through to pc idea is workable to an extent, but it will
likely only be custom applications on the phone that are able to use
it, as the stock system images don't as far as I know support adding
additional network interfaces - you'd be limited to doing something
like ppp or http proxy over an adb port forward, unless you are are
allowed to change the system image to add kernel modules and
associated configuration.
