I'm not really sure why you want to work digitally if youre opposed to computers/internet being part of the process, that's kind of a big part of 'digital'. The cheaper tablets are not going to have a screen, they're going to function basically like a mouse connected to your PC and move the cursor around with the pen. Even the best of the best Cintiq level tablets basically act like an extra monitor you can draw on. There are cheaper tablets similar to cintiqs but they still need a PC running Photoshop or some other art program.
Something like an iPad or other tablet doesn't have to connect to a PC but it basically is a self-contained computer itself. I use a Samsung galaxy note, it's an Android tablet that works without being connected to a PC. You would need WiFi to install art programs from the app store but other than that you don't have to use internet on it. It lets you draw directly on the screen which was my main priority. Investing $200+ might be a big ask if you're just starting out though. If youre interested in this make sure you do your research. Samsung has tablets with the 'S Pen', which have more levels of pressure sensitivity than a normal touch screen and works much better for digital art. You want to find the most sensitivity within your price range.
I used an Intuos 3 for...a decade or so? It's a solid tablet but requires a PC to use and doesn't let you draw directly on the screen. I guess the modern day version of that would be something like this, which seems like a pretty affordable pick for getting your foot in the door with digital art.
yes
the wacom is also known as the wacom one small or whatever, but if you scroll down to the details it says that the model number is like ctl472k1a or something like that

like this is a ctl472 and its in stock in 3 days
The XP-Pen will be completely fine for a first starter tablet yeah. Also the only wacom you'd have any trouble getting in the US would be the CTH/CTL-480 which is discontinued, you'd have problems no matter where you are.
The best tablet you can buy right now is the CTL-472, so it would be a good choice whenever you decide to upgrade
This is the tablet I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1RR3FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_3GDGM48CQ85MGS8NGEY2
It doesn't have a screen so you'd need to look at your computer-- there's a tiny bit of a learning curve but I found it pretty easy to use and reliable for school.
here Gah damn its 50 dollars on amazon, thats crazy since I paid like 37 (180 PLN) for mine, brand new from a local electronics store. Its funny though since I did pay 50 (250 PLN) dollars for my s620 in early 2020 or whatever. Idk whats up with that
Definitely Rocketbook. Before I had an iPad, I used it and it was 👌🏽 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HRCXH3N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_SJRSDY0WDR6EZ6RGXG13?psc=1
If you want to use your laptop or computer, I recommend Wacom , XP-Pen, or Huion tablets. You can connect it to your computer via USB and use One Note or something! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1RR3FR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_AN3WMFRZ4HTK2WYF2RMN?psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078YR2MTF/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_T66841KP0PD9T68RNDXZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
