Home buttons broken, Is there any way I could make another button go to the home screen? Such as long pressing back button or something
It won't fix your physical broken button but, download Button Savior from the store.

Glad you got it working. I have a question about the buttons though, are they supposed to have an LED backlight behind them?

Yeah. When the screen is awake a white light should come on behind them.

So now the home button is somehow pushing itself, is there a way to completely disable the button?

Have you deleted HOME from the original home key in the file? If not I would try that and see if that works.
No body knows with the key buttons?

Hold the power button and the volume up button until it buzzes 3 times (Approx 10-15 seconds)

Hold volume down and power at the same time.
Its power button and the home button

Is there any way to make the home button wake the phone?
It should already... mine does.
Take a look at /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and gpio_keys.kl see if 172 still says wake. It shouldn't say wake_dropped like the others if it doesn't add wake if its missing or remove dropped if its there

No my home button does not wake up phone
My home button wakes the phone and takes it to my lock screen. If you disable swip to unlock, then pressing the home button would take you to the home screen.

Get https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander and use it to go to /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl click it and tell it to edit file, use the editor that comes with the app, scroll down to 172 and see if it says "172 HOME WAKE" or "172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED" or simply "172 HOME"
Do the same on /system/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl and report back
