    you can direct to homepage or setup a custom 404 page putting few ads on, whichever works better

    Yes, definitely you could do that, as since its better to make your visitor visit the home page rather than making him go away from your website, ass since you would loose a genuine customer. :)

    You can do that. It's better to redirect them to home page than making them go away.
