I don't want to buy another adapter for my xbox 360 ($99) and I have cat5 cable already, would this work? Running the ethernet from the xbox 360 to the computer's ethernet then somehow creating a network for the 360 to work through the pc for the internet?

You can do that. Takes a couple of minutes. All you have to do is connect the Xbox 360 lan port to your pc's lan port, and simply go to your network connections in Windows, select both connections, and right click and select "bridge connections"
It works very well.
I know this from experience lol I have had my 360 bridged to my pc for a few weeks now and it works just fine. No issues whatsoever.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your network cards though.
