Is there a minimum prepaid credit balance to use data?

No. There’s no minimum balance needed to use data on prepaid. Provided you've got data left, you'll be able to access the internet until it's used up.

Do downloads and uploads count towards my data usage?

Yes. Both downloads (data you receive) and uploads (data you send) count towards your data usage.

Is data usage charged at a different rate while tethering or using my device as a WiFi hotspot?

No. Data usage is charged at the same rate, whether you’re tethering or using your device as a WiFi hotspot.
