I am trying to setup the following thing: A way to take all my traffic from my laptop, while I am on a public Internet access point, have it to go my home where a server will be running and have my traffic, proceed out to the Internet from there. I think I want a VPN? But, I can't seem to get a connection to the server or I am doing something wrong with my setup.

A VPN, with your computer configured to forward all your traffic to the VPN connection solves your problem perfectly. As for something simpler to configure, you can open a SOCKS v5 tunnel using SSH. Both the OpenSSH client (-D) and Putty (Dynamic tunnel) supports this.

You haven't even described your setup. Set up DDNS/static IP (if your ISP offers the latter)? Set up VPN server (what software specifically (commonly openvpn or softether), post configs/logs)? And yes, a tunnel (e.g. with ssh (see apart from -D/-L also -N and -f)) with a proxy (e.g. polipo) on your server at home would do the job as well.
All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.
