When I tether the laptop to the phone to get internet, the phone offers Bluetooth, USB, and WiFi. The later two I have tested and work perfectly. Bluetooth, I don't know how it is supposed to work. I get two applets related to BT in the task bar of XFCE, but I see the phone on neither. Nor do I see anything related to BT in the network manager.

Is it supposed to work, and how?

I don't really know, but am guessing that your laptop and phone need to be 'Bluetooth network encapsulation protocol' (BNEP) capable.  I don't know how you determine whether they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_protocols#Bluetooth_network_...) -- Robert Webb
