You can get your Home folder back in the sidebar y going to /Users (that is to say, the Users folder in Macintosh HD) and dragging "nick smith" back into the sidebar. You can also make an alias (called shortcut in the Windows world) on your desktop by dragging "nick smith" to the desktop while holding down the command (Apple) and Option keys on your keyboard.
The puff of smoke IS alarming. You're certainly not the first to be confused by it.
