I'm not sure I understand your question:

So you have one Debian box with two internet connections (cellphone AP, 
and wired connection to router)?
If so that Debian box would need to act as a router to share those 
internet connections to the rest of your network.

If you have time, you can get for less then 5 Euro USB Wireless
adapters from eBay... Do not expect, they are working over more
then 10-15m and trough a concrete wall...

You mean USBNet?  AFAIK it is supported by Win7 Win8 and Win10,
but it should be in first place supported by zour cellphone
which I dubt...  I have not found a singel one where it works.

you can connect your PC with usb cable to the phone.
on your smartphone you need to enabling "sharing by usb"
and your smartphone will become router and dhcpd server for your PC.

on your pc, you will have usb0 interface (with 0 can be more), or unpredictable interface name like enxxxxxxxxx.

but...

if you realy want use one of your pc like a router, you need to activate "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" in /etc/sysctl.conf
and many time you will want nat from your local networt to Internet.

so, you will 
 - define statics IP and adding routes, or 
 - configure a dhcpd server 

nat routing:
iptables -A POSTROUTING -s {{base_ip}}.{{client_network}}/{{masque}} -j MASQUERADE

replace {{base_ip}}.{{client_network}}/{{masque}} with your values (yes it may become little bit complicated)

(some time, I think using babeld is simpler...)

I am sure I omit some pieces to your configuration

In that case something like the following could be considered (they are 
other alternatives out there):

http://www.ipcop.org/

The only thing that would need to be done  behind that "router" would be 
to connect all your devices to that router (wireless or cable).

I'm pretty sure part of the software side of this will be setting up 
sshd-server as securely as possible and installing the fail2ban package 
for those who make too many mistakes entering passwords for private 
accounts.  If what's envisioned is a public internet site that has its 
own set of security requirements and problems.
