You would need to set up routes on these other devices to tell them that VPN devices can be reached through the Pi. It’s possible, but I’ve never done it myself, so I don’t have any useful pointers.

You can’t change icons from the system/launcher settings. Individual apps can offer icon options, but they are internal to the app.
