If you are talking to a man (for a woman you just change the term of address to fānendua/nenua).

father VBLZR-love-3.OBJ go-LOC-3.OBJ home-DEF Q
Do you want to go home?

The term of adress can be shortened to 'anua', but this is sometimes considered impolite. You can also ommit the definitness marking on home, if you want to.

Anua fakrohaya aruiya sau'i aha.
[ˈa.nwɑ ˈfak̚r̥o.ha.ja‿a.ˈɾuɪ̯.ja ˈsɑʊ̯.ʔḭ‿ˈa.ha]
anua fak-alha-ya aru-i-ya sau'i aha
father VBLZR-love-3.OBJ go-LOC-3.OBJ home-DEF Q
Do you want to go home?

In actual discourse, when someone is about to leave, you would probably just say.

Anua aruiya sau'i aha.
[ˈa.nwɑ‿a.ˈɾuɪ̯.ja ˈsɑʊ̯.ʔḭ‿ˈa.ha]

This turned out to be more complicated than I thought, but in a good way. usually while writing sample sentences I focus on the missing parts of my grammar, so I don't always notice all the options I already have. anyway...

The last two examples assume that the people asked all live in the same house. If they don't, add a plural prefix to the word "house":
manatgiha / manatwiyha - to your houses (everything else stays the same).

* T. and K. refer to noun classes (there are three but the last one doesn't have second person pronouns anymore).

"Ophlõm" is generally considered a single morpheme, even if it comes from "op" (inside) + "hlõm" (house). Hence, I left it that way in the gloss.

Simpel (work in progress, probably temporary name)

QUESTION 2P want INF go to DEF house

I'm trying to make Simpel as isolating as I can, so yeah, one word = one morpheme 99.99% of the time. "Us" is actually "u" (2nd person) + "s" (medial), and it represents the standard 2nd person addressing pronoun, whereas "um" (proximal) would imply close friendship or feelings of superiority and "ut" (distal) would be formal. All of these are valid for both singular and plural, as Simpel has no notion of number.

Do you want to go home?
Veux-tu rentrer à la maison ?

Two things I'd like to add :
The fact that the verb and subject should switch position in a question is correct. Still, french people will most of the time ignore this rule, so this is more common :
Tu veux rentrer à la maison ?

"à la maison" can be omitted as "rentrer" can be used to talk about "going home" on itself. Thus, this will also be correct (depending on the context) :
Tu veux rentrer ?

Do you want to go home?

The particle 呀 aa3 is a common particle often used at the ends of questions that serves to soften the tone of the question.

(Note: The character 企 is underlyingly kei5 [kʰei̯˩˧]; however, in the word 屋企, it changes from tone 5 to tone 2. This sort of tone change occurs in many Cantonese words.)


Japanese

In Japanese, you could probably just say:

帰りたい？
Kaeritai?
[kaeɾitái ↗]
kaer-ita-i
return-want-NPST.AFF.ADJ
Lit. Do you want to return?

If you want to specify "home", you could say:

家へ帰りたい？ or うちへ帰りたい？
Ie e kaeritai? or Uchi e kaeritai?
[ié e kaeɾitái ↗] or [ut͡ɕi e kaeɾitái ↗]
ie e kaer-ita-i or uchi e kaer-ita-i
home to return-want-NPST.AFF.ADJ
Do you want to go home?

All of these questions could optionally end with the question particle か ka. In polite speech, ですか desu ka would be added to the end; です desu being the polite copula (though in this case it only serves to indicate politeness), and か ka being the aforementioned question particle, which is mandatory in polite speech.

The English question is ambiguous, and the Japanese translation depends on what exactly is meant by the English question. If you are actually asking about whether the person wants to go home or not, because you don't know their feeling, then your question is fine, but English frequently uses questions about someone else's opinion as a disguised/pragmatic way of expressing/softening one's own opinion, in which case the real meaning of this question could be "Let's go home."

In this case, a good translation would be:
(そろそろ)帰ろう(か)。
(Sorosoro) kaerō (ka).
(soon/now) go.home-HORT (Q)
Excluding sorosoro makes it seem a bit more urgent, and including ka can imply you are suggesting it because the person you're talking to wants to go, while leaving it out implies it is you or some other person (who is going with the two of you) who wants to go, because -(y)ō ka is a typical way of making offers.

If you want to specify "home", you could say:

家へ帰りたい？ or うちへ帰りたい？
Ie e kaeritai? or Uchi e kaeritai?
[ié e kaeɾitái ↗] or [ut͡ɕi e kaeɾitái ↗]
ie e kaer-ita-i or uchi e kaer-ita-i
home to return-want-NPST.AFF.ADJ
Do you want to go home?

This verb normally implies home, so unless the destination is not obvious (e.g. someone else's house), you wouldn't need to say it.
If you did, it would be much more normal to use ni than e, because e is a more formal particle.

also, the accent would be kaerita↘i↗ because there is a necessary downstep on the /ta/.

Ikāezin

It can be expressed in two ways:

Nizûqan Brēa Gotībe tēa
/nizu:quan brˈea goti:be tˈea/
You-PR.2SG want to-MOD house-LAT go-2SG.PRES.SUBJ ?-INTERROG
You want to house go?

Nisizûqan Kiwīzin Brēa Gotībe tēa
/nisizu:quan kiwi:zin brˈea goti:be tˈea/
You-PR.2SG I-PR.1.SG want to-MOD with me-PR house-LAT go-2SG.PRES.SUBJ ?-INTERROG
You and me want with me to house go?

"tēa" is the name of the interrogative rune used to mark questions. When asking something, speakers of Ikāezin raise intonation and say the name of the rune. It's like saying "What do to want question mark" while adjusting the tone to that of a question.

Źilaa Ruńu

Moving from A to B is usually expressed in one of two ways. One verb is used if the important part about the question is getting home (because you have something to do there), and another verb if the focus is on going, or on leaving where you are now.
The word for "home" leen is kind of the worst for these examples because it's an irregular noun that doesn't change at all between cases. I'm using "village" instead to show how in the first sentence the destination is the direct object and in the second sentence it's an oblique argument with a preposition:

kee cahle naliuk muive (saa imbur vara)?
Q want.IPF-2SG VN-come.to.IPF village.ACC (from place-INAN.OBL PROX-INAN.OBL)
Do you want to go to the village (from this place)?

kee cahle nadeź (imbu vari) nde muivem?
VN-go.from-IPF (place.ACC PROX-INAN.ACC) to village.OBL
Do you want to leave (this place) for the village?
