The first piqued my curiosity, did I correctly understand that you bought Ledger HW for $20? What type is it?
No, 79€ + Delivery Costs + Cashback Promo of 20$ in bitcoins, sometime there is also free Delivery Cost offer but not bitcoins cashback.
It depend of the moment.

Ledger has (had?) a promo that gave a "cashback" after buying their product ($20 in Bitcoin).
Exactly, it was about 2 or 3 months ago maybe, it can come back...

No, it would not have worked.
To receive bitcoin over lightning, you must first have regular bitcoin (which you now have in your Ledger), a lightning compatible wallet (which Ledger Live is not), and use those regular bitcoin to open a Lightning channel. This is something you can look in to for the future if you want, but you've done nothing wrong so far.
Oh ok, i have a lot to learn, thank you very much for the explanation.
