Using GEOquery, I'm not getting any features and a lot of the
methods don't work.  What am I doing wrong?

You aren't looking at the GEO website to see if normalized data are available, which in this case they aren't. You can get the raw data using getGEOSuppFiles(), but it's not really raw data - instead they supply TPM values from RSEM. I don't believe there is a pipeline for dealing with these data from within GEOquery, so you may need to 'roll your own' functions.

Alternatively you can get the .sra files from SRA and re-align if you need counts/gene.

How do I tell from the GEO website whether count data is directly available through GEOquery?

Ah, good question. It does actually look like there is a series matrix file available. But if you click on the link, you can see on the FTP site that it is only 3 kb. But in general, if there is a link to the SRA, then you know it's RNA-Seq data, and submitters can either upload a series matrix of counts/TPM/RPKM/whatever, or they can upload individual files. At that point you have to look closer to see what they uploaded, and in what format.

Thank you for the thought. Would you please explain me more how to do it in Rsudio? Specifically for my data (GSE81540).

Appreciate your help.
