Yep or you could just use two A records one for each name.

Depends on the mailer config.  Chances are if you were mailing me it would
bounce due to your claimed forward and reverse records not matching.  Again
this is down to the postmaster and how 'strict' he wishes to make his
server.  Informally you should use your isp to get mail out, using your own
server to pump out to the net is a bad idea in my view, especially
considering your .home.com domain name ;-)
