You need to have assets (coins sent to it first!) to be able to see the price of how much they are worth.
And in to regards of the password when you login to the wallet:
I noticed it only comes up when I put a large amount in the wallet (over $550) then the next time I opened it
It all the sudden asked me to set up a password.
And from then on I had to enter it in no matter how much I had in the wallet even if it was empty.
It seems to be adaptive in it's way of security of your assets hence your coins.

I sent $20 to it a few hours ago, still nothing. Did I do the right thing when I clicked Receive on Exodus and copy and paste the
btc address to my online wallet so as to send it. I mean how does a newly installed Exodus desktop wallet know if the btc address it gave me to use to receive btc from my other online wallet, not been used by others considering the program mentions nothing about syncing with the btc blockchain. It's a small amount I'm not sweating it.

Yes. This is the right process to receive to your wallet.
It is just like if you were using a blockchain.info wallet. You are given a btc address and it will retain that address to that same wallet for it's entire lifecycle. No matter what.
If you have not received that $20 yet you should take that btc address you copied from Exodus and put it into blockchain to check where it is along it's route and how much of a fee was sent with it.
If it wasn't enough then it will take longer than usual. And if not confirmed after 72 hours it will be rejected by the blockchain and sent back to where it came from.
Just adjust the fees you put on it to make sure it can get a chance to confirm to the exodus address that was given.

You are not buying from the exodus team, the wallet is using the ShapeShift API so you are basically using that exchange, ...

Will ShapeShift demand ID (verification) even though I am using my own Exodus desktop wallet, no matter how large the amount?

Shapeshift doesn't require ID. They only exchange cryptocoins, no fiat, and only for smaller amounts. When you want to exchange 100 BTC to LTC it can only be done in small portions.

There are so many possibilities creating a new BTC address that the chance you will get an existing address is even smaller then picking up the same grain of sand on the beach as the tourist who went to the beach four years ago.

1. Who am I actually selling to when I sell say BTC for ETH using Exodus. Am I selling to developers of Exodus?
2. When I double click and open the program, does it instantaneously know the current live prices? is it that quick?

You are not buying from the exodus team, the wallet is using the ShapeShift API so you are basically using that exchange, the price are taken from either CryptoMarketCap or Coincomapare (Yes it is quick). If you want to be able to set a password and get your passphrase In order to recover your wallet later, you need to send some funds to your wallet (a few cents are just fine)

Downloaded Exodus desktop wallet but don't see any of the current prices, I see zero's for all listed coins.
Also I double clicked it Exodus icon on my desktop and it opened up, why didn't it ask me to set up a password for it?
I haven't sent money to it yet as I would like to set up a password to run with it before I do that.
