What City in the West served as the center of Christianity in rome?

I guess you mean Roman empire If so Rome and Milan. When Milan was the capital of the west, it surpassed Rome in importance because the imperial court was there. Christianity was made the state religion of the empire with the Edict of Milan. Two fathers of the Catholic church worked in Milan. St Ambrose was born in Milan and St Augustine (whose ideas became the foundation of the catholic doctrine) converted to Christianity after he moved to Milan and did his theological work there. When the capital of the west was transferred to Ravenna, primacy over Catholic Christianity gradually went back to Rome.

How did Constantine's Edict of Milan support Christianity?

Constantine may have had several motivations. Some suggest he had a conversion experience in 312 while fighting Maxentius -- the story goes that he looked into the sky before the battle and saw a cross, a Christian symbol (the chi rho) and the words "in this sign, conquer." After winning the battle, he opted to support Christianity. Other theories are that his mother was a Christian and that he wanted to honor her, or that he thought legalizing Christianity would be good for the empire. Licinius is less clear, but he seems to be a Christian supporter as well. In his half of the empire, he participated in ecclesiastical life and even put Christian symbols on the army's uniforms.
