yeah, as Peter said, always home, and if you don'\t have home switches configured, always fake the home. Homing is not an optional extra, the...
Yes you should fake the home as per my previous link. That will not cause the symptoms you asked about so now I am somewhat confused.
I see no problems with your drawings or your code. If you read the Gcode it looks like this (i have added explanations for pertinent lines) G90...
