Do most schools provide accommodation for their teachers?

No, they don’t. There are schools that do this. For example, they will provide a room for you, either shared or single, probably in an apartment with other teachers, and provide you with a monthly stipend. However, it varies from school to school.

Can I return to my home country and teach with my certificate?

Yes, you can. TEFL course graduates find employment in private EFL schools and religious schools and universities. State schools sometimes require additional state certification. It differs from country to country. You may also apply for work in other parts of the world. Asian countries or the Middle East will not only pay you an excellent salary, they may also open their doors to the public school system. South Korean schools pay so much that you may easily save up to $14,000/year if you have a modest life style. The Middle East tops the list because some of those countries don’t have income taxes.
