I'm sure you had a harrowing travel experience and just wanted to share your story. I'm just not sure I understand the relevance of most of your points with regard to the transportation between the two cities. The easiest way to get from Chicago O'Hare to Detroit is flying (ORD-DTW is a straight-shot with Delta). The second easiest way is driving. If you want to take the train, you have to plan ahead just a little. Know that the Amtrak from Chicago to Detroit departs from Union Station. The CTA will get you from O'Hare to Clinton, and then you just have to walk north 2 blocks. That's it. (Mind you, I visited Chicago pre-Google Maps and as a poor student. It can be done. I've also done Greyhound and yes I stopped in Chicago -- this was in 2002. Bus service in America is certainly very different from in most European countries, where it is used by students.)
