It's After two months, he returned home.

"In 2 months" refers to some time in the future, you cannot mix future and past. If he has returned home, then it is past tense

My opinion, is after two months he returned home, he would be returning in two months.

If the event happened following 2 months it would be written as such:
"He returned home 2 months later."
"He returned home after 2 months."

If the event happened before the end of 2 months it would be written as such:

"He returned home within 2 months."
But this begs to be filled with more details, as this statement compares an event to another. You leave it open to ask "within 2 months of what?"

The correct English is: 2 months later he returned home.
After two months he returned home.
