Anonymous Tom will have been at home yesterday. Yes, it makes sense. It's a fancy way of saying "Tom was most likely at home yesterday".

Yes. 'probably', 'very probably', 'most probably', 'likely', 'very likely', 'most likely'. They all fit in there to paraphrase the meaning of your example with will have.
