People who hate all other people are Anthropophobes (they suffer from Anthropophobia). Now, concerning the "fear of leaving home", there are several phobias that could adjust to that:
Agoraphobia - the fear of open spaces (from Agora, the greek word for Square)
Agyrophobia - the fear of streets
Dromophobia - the fear of crossing streets
Batophobia - the fear of being close to high buildings
Demophobia - the fear of crowds
But, in fact, I'd propose the term Oikophilia or Ecophilia for that situation; it would then describe not the fear of leaving home, but the distorted love (philia) that one could feel by his/her home, eventually making it impossible to leave.

Agoraphobia is people afraid to leave their homes. Social Phobia could cause someone to dislike being around people.

agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces (leaving one's home would encompass that)
I don't know if there is a medical term for people who hate all other people....
misanthropy? maybe?
