I'm currently not TOO excited to spend $100-200+ for a propane grill. Is it possible to cook brats with a small budget (preferably around $20-30, but as high as a soft $50) and get that nice, crispy skin around most of the sausage on a low budget? I have a wobbly, thick, not-nonstick pan (on a glasstop stove), and an oven. Oh, and a good, thick, as well as many terrible thin nonstick pans at my disposal.

Most ovens have a 'broil' setting (where the top element is on, and not the lower element).
You'll likely want a 'broiler pan' so that you can drain the grease away from the food (and catch it so it doesn't light on fire). They're under $20 online.
As for the bit about not closing the door : If you close the door to the oven, it might heat up too much, and shut off. You need the element actively heating, so that you have radiant heating, not convection or conduction. (this is also why you want the food really close to the heating element). Note that this is for electric ovens -- I don't think gas ovens have the same issue.
