Answer 1

Buy wireless rooter, plug in the internet wire in the wlan port.

Laptop should find the internet (or read the rooters manual).

Answer 2

Laptops come with wireless network adapters installed. At least, every one made in the last five years or so does. If you have wireless at home, it should just be a matter of turning on the laptop and letting it detect the signal.

Answer 3

instead of connecting the internet to PC and PC to the wireless modem, connect the internet cable directly to your wireless modem. If you have wifi enabled laptop (which i assume you have :-) ),  you can connect your laptop to the internet.

Answer 4

Your wireless moden is NOT connected to your desktop -- your desktop is connected to your wireless modem. Remove the ethernet cable that goes from your desktop to the modem and you will see that your current laptop STILL can connect to the internet. This shows that you do not need the desktop to have an active wireless modem.
