If you do purchase an iPad with 3G, you will not need home wireless internet. But you can also connect to a home wireless internet with an iPad with 3G. You will need to pay monthly for the AT&T 3G fees.
The iPad comes in two versions: a Wi Fi only version and a WiFi + 3G version. If you only need to use the iPad at home then the Wi Fi version will connect to the Internet via your home network. If you plan to use the iPad out of the home then you will need the 3G version (unless you limit your usage to cafes and stores that provide a free Wi Fi connection) to connect to the Internet. In the US the only 3G option is currently with AT&T.

Only an iPod Touch can get free internet access through a WiFi hotspot. Just go to Settings-->WiFi (turn it on if you haven't already) and it will automatically search for a WiFi hotspot. Once it's found one, tap to select. (you many need to enter a password first.)
