The adb server runs on the mobile device, not on a computer. You can connect to a device over the network From a client computer.

the same network or a different network. I need a different network. And even when I went wireless, it required a USB tether initially

It will work to any subnet which is routable from your current local subnet.

I recieved this error: " No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061) "

So on your computer, did you do the following, as described in the SO question?
When connected via USB: adb tcpip 5555. Disconnect USB, view phone IP from Settings > About Phone > Status. Now adb connect 192.168.x.x

Thats the problem. I need to get away from the initial USB. I need to have a server pc on a different network, and fake a usb connection from a phone on another network. I cannot have the initial USB connection to create the initial connection.

Ah I see what you mean. Apparently there are ways to do this using certain apps, but it requires the device to be rooted

I can't root the device either :/ is there any way around this? If not, is there a way to run adb natively on my phone, and access it on my phone?

Requires root :/ can't do.
Even if your device on the different network, you should be fine with 'adb tcpip 5555'
This command set the target device to listen for a TCP/IP connection on port 5555. You don't have to run it from the PC that you are using to connect to the device.
Seems like it is the the only options if your device non rooted.
