My ultimate goal would be to have my Calibre Library on a double ended Flash drive and be able to access the whole Home Folder anywhere I have a device.
I am assuming that the Calibre Home folder maintains the sync data for where you are at when reading a book?
I read at work on a PC and read at night on my Android Phone...

I am not sure I follow what you are suggesting, but here goes.
CC can "see" books that it puts on a device. With one exception, it doesn't see books that arrive via cables, email, file sync, or what-have-you. The one exception is CC's "Cloud Connection - Library on device or SD card". If you put a complete copy of your calibre library, including the metadata.db file, on your device somewhere then CC can "see" it and "download" books from it.
I don't know what a "Calibre Home folder" is. Perhaps you mean some information in custom columns? CC stores "is read" sync information in its own database and can pass that information to calibre in a custom column when you connect as a wireless device. Calibre's viewer doesn't update any columns when you read a book, so there isn't any automatic connection between the two. In particular, there is no possibility to sync reading positions/progress. To my knowledge no Android ereader app can sync positions/progress with calibre's viewer.

Even better would be an actual Calibre for Android!

Well, yes, but that isn't what CC is, and isn't what CC will ever be.
