The Vikings left their homeland because there wasn't much open land left in Scandinavia. There was richer soil in Iceland and in Greenland and at the time the climate was much warmer so it was perfect for farming. The Vikings also left their homelands to terrorize and plunder mainly all of Europe.

For the most part, they didn't. Some colonized Iceland and later Greenland for various reasons (chance to begin anew, escaping religious persecution by the Christians, et al). Mostly however, the Norwegians stayed in Norway, the Danish stayed in Denmark, and so on.
