Diesel fuel smells the same as home heating oil.
Yes, home heating oil and diesel fuel are almost identical and can be used interchangeably. Home heating oil used in a diesel vehicle is subject to road tax and you can be fined if caught using it to avoid road tax.
diesel fuel contains detergent, cetane improvers,lubrocity improvers, etc. home heating oil doesn't. most application are interchangable. truck stops commenly sell home heating oil because its cheaper. they also sell premium diesel which is supposed to be real diesel. that's why drivers buy howes, or power service and dope their fuel. dyed fuel is for off road use and does not have road tax collected on it #1 and #2 are viscosity ratings.
Kerosene and home heating oil can be mixed in a oil furnace. Kerosene is thinner than heating oil. Mixed together will make the furnace burn cleaner.
yes you can as a temporary solution but MAKE SURE you don't accidentally use gasoline or you'll be sorry

If you are referring to a kerosene space heater, it can be used with diesel fuel, but it ill give off a very strong odor, and the wick will become clogged much faster. If you are referring to a house furnace fuel tank, then yes. The fuel found in most home "oil" furnaces is the exact same thing as off-road diesel.
#2 diesel is regular diesel fuel. they run #2 diesel year round in the south. in northern states the run a blend of #1 and #2 diesel. #1 diesel is more like kerosene while #2 diesel is like home heating oil
