I believe making HOME a link in the node above would be very good for
beginners.

I think you should use @xref instead of @pxref; it currently renders
as
Normally Emacs uses the environment variable `HOME' (*note HOME:
General Variables.) to find `.emacs'; that's what `~' means in a file
Note the period inside the parentheses. I think @xref will suppress that.

@pxref is the correct markup for use in parentheses (that's what 'p' in
pxref stands for).

That's a feature, not a bug. The period tells the info parser where the
node name ends.

@xref is supposed to start a sentence and be followed by a punctuation
mark, that's why it's not rendered with a trailing period.
