How do I query the actual elements in the dataset

I wear a lot of hats...

Here is the part where you are missing it.

foreach ($computer in $ServerList)
#$ServerList | Foreach-Object
{
    Try{
            $computer = $_.

You need to do this instead:

foreach ($row in $ServerList)
{
    Try{
            $computer = $row.Name

Invoke-SqlCmd actually returns a set of DataRow objects, so in that datarow object there are columns and you just reference them like so:

$row.Name
$row.FieldName
etc.
