So, I have a wireless USB adapter hooked in my computer and my internet speeds are really slow. If I hook an ethernet cable from my google home into the back of the computer, will that help increase my download and upload speeds?

It should help to improve internet speeds but that is NOT guaranteed

It is difficult to say for certain whether that would fix your issues or not.  There are many factors with wireless performance (signal strength, band, interference, load, router/AP throughput, USB adapter throughput, etc, etc). However...any modern ethernet cable and router/switch should be able to provide you MUCH better throughput than 81kb/s.  You also have to consider the type of service you are being provided from your ISP as well as what other traffic may be bottlenecking your connection.  Your internal devices and connections cannot help your transfer speeds from outside of your network.
