If you are already in a campaign, and the homebrew spell is in your collection, then everyone in the campaign will be able to see it, including the DM. If you don’t want others to see it, then you need to remove it from your collection. (It will still be in “My creations). If you do that, I’m not sure whether or not you will have access to the spell on your character sheet; you would have to experiment with that.
If you take the spell out of your collection, then there is only one way I can think of to share it with your DM:
-take a screen shot of the spell details and send to your DM
Yeah there isnt really a way to share to only one person. D&D is a "everybody has the same options game" so all homebrew options are shared automatically.
How is sharing the D&DBeyond homebrew content different for each payment tier (Free vs Hero vs Master) and how is it different in private vs public sharing (IE. Campaign vs Community)?
Homebrew (public or private) created by members of the campaign (DM and players) are automatically shared between campaign members for use by characters in that campaign.
Having a subscription (either type) allows you to add public homebrew to your collection from people outside of your campaigns.
I created a homebrew spell and want to share it with my DM, and him alone. How do I do that?

I want to expand on the OP's question.
