My Laptop is configured for a domain, and I need to also use it on a home network for sharing purposes (Files, Printers etc.).

Just log on to your laptop as if you were connected to the domain. Your domain logon credentials are cached on the laptop so you don't need to be connected to the domain to log on successfully.
You won't be able to browse the machines from each other unless you change the workgroup name of your home machine to the domain name of the laptop.
To access shares on the laptop, you'll need the local Administrator account name and password on the laptop. If you don't know that, you can set up a share on your home machine and move the files from the laptop to the home machine.
To access shares on the home machine from the laptop, click Start...Run and type in the UNC path to the share and press enter. You should be prompted for a username and password. Just submit the credentials of a local account on the home machine with access to the shared data and you should be in.

As long as the home network is "workgroup", you should be able to set up the sharing, since workgroup is default for Windows when not in a domain. You will have to log into the "local" machine however to invoke the workgroup sharing.

Bad idea. If your laptop gets infected at home, it will become the source of infection in the whole domain.
I suggest you setup a virtual machine on that laptop either using VMWare or MS Virtual PC. That way, you separate the work environment from the home environment.

You can set-up different network profiles on XP I believe. Look in network properties maybe?
