I currently have verizon wirless for my laptop, works very well in and out of town. I would like to know if I can run my UBS verizon wirless through a router so when I am home we may all use the internet with home computors at the same time.

Yes there are routers that will take a mobile broadband modem as the internet access. Most manufacturers have them.

Nice, I don't think Verizon would let you do that, because you are paying for one system only, doing what you mention would make your only connection available to many, and I'm sure that verizon would not let you do that, remember every time you connect, your computer the one that has been registered with the network is the only that would get access, which means and I'm pretty sure here, that every time you connect, your MAC address is given access out NOT, any other mac address.

But do what us computer guys do we try things if it works it works if not well just does not, also read the agreement you can get in trouble for that

But: here is how you share the internet connection, on this scenario your laptop becomes the wireless router.
Go to wireless settings and choose to share your network connection, and it should show up on your other computer's some settings probably need to be change but the computer should guide you trough it.
