    Basically a home page is the main page on a web site. A web page is any page on a web site. The first page of a website is also known as a home page.It is the default landing page.

    They both are same. The difference lies in the address. Mainly the homepage address in many websites in Index.html and that's why it is also known as Index page.

    It is the same. It all depends on how the webmaster will assign url's for each.

    There is on difference technically speaking. Developers tend to name the home page of any site as index.html, index.asp, index.php. In an SEO's view an indexed page is that which has been crawled by Google.
