In the ACK option, if I request a home address(not a prefix), will it be
set to '32' or will it be set to the subnet length of the network the
home address belongs to?


=> It will be set to 32.


Since, the (P) flag is there, to indicate if its a host address or
a prefix, returning the actual prefix length will be useful, instead
of returning 32, and HA has the prefix length.
