Don't say "today afternoon."
This afternoon, a person came to our house and was inquiring about you and your family.

I would say "someone" instead of "a person" and "asking" instead of "inquiring" but your words are fi

Thank you

Can I also say, "This afternoon, someone came to our house and inquiring about you and your family".

Here I omitted the verb "was".

No, but you could say "This afternoon, someone came to our house and inquired about you and your family" or
"someone came to our house inquiring about . . . "

Doesn't it suppose to be " Today, in the afternoon, someone came to our house and inquired about us." ?

Isn't is supposed to be...

You could say it that way, putting "in the afternoon" within commas to show that it's additional information.

I think it should be
We had a person coming to our house today and enquiring about something

I wouldn't say so because it sounds strange 'we had a person'... it is totally informal then..
