It actually works the other way round - a laptop will have to be able to access the hotspot settings that are sent out via a wireless router. It's then a case of connecting to the relevant available network, will will adjust your laptop's wireless settings accordingly.

Automatic, in my experience - although sometimes it's a paid service (e.g Gatwick Airport.)

You seemed to be pretty clue up on this, so how did you learn it all.

Mostly through experience. I've got a wireless home network, which is practically the same thing as a hotspot.
Google is also a fantastic help.
