Do you not have access to a regular Internet connection (not using your hotspot)? If you did, you'd just get a router and then plug the iMac into that..

I may be wrong, but if i recall back, a hub with both would work, or (and the term could be wrong) a twisted pair Ethernet cable direct for PC to Mac, I am sure I worked with something similar for PC to Commodore many years ago.

My regular Internet connection is mobile phone hotspot

Yes, you can use an ethernet cable to share your winOS PC internet. You just have to enable it on windows 10.
