-I want to pay,and be able to buy any game regardless of gen, 360 and One and Series S/X

Should I create an account on his name, then make his account the one we will both use, make my xbox the home/primary one, let him have the normal/secondary one and only play through the account we both use, and, as for me, play on a second account so we both can take advantage of the games, game pass and xbox live gold?

If you're the one paying for game pass/gold/games/etc, then you should have your account on both machines, set your cousins console as your primary one, then have your cousin create an account for himself on his console, and make sure he uses his account rather than yours.

I thought that the one who uses the normal/secondary xbox can't use a second acount to play the shared games. Deosnt only the home/primary xbox have the ability to play all the games in a different account?

Yeah that's basically what I said, so if you want your cousin to share your stuff, you'll have to put your account on his console and make that the home/primary one, he then uses his own account and gets access to your stuff, and you keep using your account only (not home/primary) on your console...
