You can use the mini as a hotspot as long as it is a Cellular + WiFi iPad. Take a look at this and make sure everything is set up correctly. Actually, it is very easy with just a couple of steps involved.
Share your Internet connection with Personal Hotspot - Apple Support
Hi
You would be better buying a mifi dongle you can run upto 10 devices at once
You can buy from phone shop on contact / or pay & go
Get one from network provider with the best mobile phone signal .

Unfortunately, without the cellular + iPad, you cannot use your iPad as an Personal Hotspot. Apple do sell a device called the AirPort Express which to my knowledge should do the same. Here is a link to the device: http://www.apple.com/au/search/Wifi?src=alp (you will be taken to the AUS Apple Site)
