Can you be searched in your home for drugs?
It is possible that if the police were there at the time the drugs were sold then an exigent circumstance exception could apply. However that is not normally the case. Most often the information about drug sales are presented to a magistrate and a warrant is obtained. The police may then do a controlled buy to confirm drugs are in the house immediately prior to the warrant service.

During a search warrant are the police allowed to charge an individual that was not listed on the search warrant the same charges as the person that was listed?
In Canada and most of the United States, the answer is "yes", as long as the Police did not exceed the scope of the warrant when they discovered the evidence of the new offense. For example, if a search warrant is issued to search your house for a suspected marijuana growing operation, and in the course of that search the Police find several fake credit cards, those cards are admissible as evidence of credit card fraud. Some jurisdictions either require or make a precautionary habit of calling a Judge to expand a warrant's scope during the search if they find something not covered in the original warrant, however that is the rare exception. Also, both SCOTUS and the Supreme Court of Canada have both held that their respective versions of the "Plain Sight" rule apply to evidence discovered in the course of executing an unrelated warrant. For instance, if the Police have a warrant to search only one bedroom of a boarding house, but there is a crack pipe on the hall table, that crack pipe is perfectly admissible under Plain Sight, even though it is inside a private residence.
If police enter your home with a search warrant why would they then ask for consent to search?
If their search is conducted completely in conformance to the wording of the warrant they can only search for and seize what the warrant allows AND anything else which lies IN PLAIN SIGHT. If they obtain your consent to conduct a search, they may search ANYWHERE and seize ANYTHING they find that is of an unlawful, or illegal nature.
