Hi John,
I'd like to add that we use the expression "at home" with the verb "stay" , do something at home or "be", because they are state verbs ( they don't indicate an action).
If the verb is dynamic ( an action verb) we don't use "at" before it.

Right, but "I'll stay home" is also possible, as is "I'll stay in."

If "Where are you going to?" is acceptable, then "Whom are you speaking to?" must also be acceptable.
I thought ending a sentence with a prepostion was incorrect.

Why did you think that?

Many years ago perhaps.
But Winston Churchill's:

"Where are you going to?" is acceptable but not, I think, the most common usage for educated native speakers of English. Just a plain "Where are you going?" is more common and, IMHO, bet
