Thank you for the quick response !
Can we say "Will Tom have been at home yesterday ?" instead of saying "Would Tom be at home yesterday?" ?

You can say that.
Anonymous "Would Tom be at home yesterday?
You cannot say that. It must read 'Would Tom have been at home yesterday?' or 'Would Tom be at home today?'
