According to the Apple docs, you must set a password for the personal hotspot, it is not optional. Then, it should publish the network SSID. You'll go into ATV settings network wifi and you'll see the SSID. Select it and you'll be able to enter the password. If ATV cannot see the hotspot, then iPad is not publishing it. You must get that right before worrying about the ATV part.
Also, according to the docs, the iPad hotspot setting only appears when the user's plan includes it.
