Sigh, I qoute from my reply:

"Use for instance TeraTerm (free), which works like a charm"

So, go to www.google.com, enter TeraTerm and download it from the first

Yes. Just make sure you apply the right level to the RTS line on your
converter since this is mostly used to switch between transmitting and
receiving. And you want to be receiving only.

A few minutes with a 'scope will answer most/all of those
questions.

You're using the wrong tools.  First step is an oscilloscope.

Your second problem, you're using Hyperterminal.

Oscilloscope.  Prefereably a digital storage scope one with two
channels that can be set up differentially.
