Can you be arrested in your own home for drink driving without being brethalyzed?
If you've driven into your home, I don't think a breathalyzer is really needed. That aside: Yes, you can be arrested for drunk driving/public drunkenness without a breathalyzer test being done. However, if you were asked to take a test and refused, the police would report that and it would be used against you. So you should do the same to them: "I asked for a breathalyzer test, but they wouldn't give me one!"

If alcohol in mouthwash can make you fail a breathalizer or what about a inhailor from asthma?
Alcohol in mouthwash may cause you to fail a breathalyzer test because the residual alcohol remains in your mouth for up to 15 minutes after using. The breathalyzer will pick up this residual alcohol in your breath and not differentiate whether it came from mouthwash or beverages. You should never take a breathalyzer test within 15 minutes of taking mouthwash or an alcoholic beverage in order to let the residual mouth alcohol dissipate.Mouthwash can cause a positive result on an ETG test. Whether or not an asthma medication could do the same thing would depend on whether it contained alcohol, how often it was used, and when the test was give.

Is it legal for police to give a breathalyzer test to someone under 18?
It is in the UK ! ANYONE suspected of drink-driving - no matter what their age - can be breathalyzed and the results used in court ! In the United States, probable cause is required to give a breathalyzer test. Note that the standard for what is considered "probable cause" in the case of a vehicle driver is considerably lower than for their passengers (or for someone walking down the street). That is, the police have a much easier time meeting the minimum level of suspicion to require a breathalyzer for the driver than for their passenger. Also note that police are allowed to give a breathalyzer test to someone they suspect has consumed alcohol and appears to be under the legal drinking age, regardless of whether that person is driving or not. Also, be aware that riding a bike is considered operating a vehicle in most of the US.
