So if you have to set sharing up first, does the other person have
to share back?

Again, no. Sharing your location with someone is a one-way
transaction.  If they want to share their location with you, that's
a separate transaction.

Okay, I guess my iPhone is right that I've shared my location as
soon as I choose someone. But if the other person doesn't accept
(share back)

 Again, sharing your location with someone absolutely does not require
them to share their location with you.
 

I  get that little spinny circle.

 You have yet to adequately describe what this "little spinny circle"
actually is. For all we know, it's a normal part of Find My.
 

If they never accept

 There is no "accept" from the other person. You share your location
with them, and they can see it on a map.
 

I don't think it  will ever stop. That's okay? It won't run the
battery down or anything?

 No. Show us screenshots of it.

Again, this has absolutely nothing to do with the other person accepting
anything. And if you read u/Jane-Bingum-The-Just's comment, it's likely
just a glitch on your own device.
