If you can ping through but not completely connect it's probably the Windows firewall settings. You can open port 3389 to public in order to connect through the VPN, but you should change the port RDP uses to something higher above 49000 and allow only three connection attempts. In Windows RDP authentication is through user profiles, so it might work if you just use a different user with RDP permissions for each respective authentication and connection i/e one for through VPN, one for without VPN. Otherwise if you know how you can add a remote-rdp-host address directed through the default gateway (sudo ip route add) in your VPN configuration files to just allow RDP connections through the VPN, kinda like port forwarding, though I'm not sure how you would do that on phone hotspot. Don't use phones that way myself. Interesting topology though.
