You cannot setup Family Sharing from a PC. You need an Apple device. From the 'Start a family group' section in:

Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support

"One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac."

That doesn't mean that once it is setup that you cannot control his account.
