It was his opening attempt to defeat Rome on its home territory.
Nope. If I'm correct Hannibal came very close but then Rome sent people to Carthage to draw away Hannibal and his army...
No. He had many victories throughout the Italian peninsula, but failed to capture Rome itself. The second Punic War (in which the Carthaginian general was Hannibal) ended with the defeat of Carthage at Zama, in 202BC.
The capture of Rome was in Hannibal's plans. However, he could not attack Rome because he lost his siege machines while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter. Later his brother brought siege machines for Spain to Italy. However he was intercepted before he could reach Hannibal. His army was routed and he was killed.

Rome itself was secure as Hannibal did not have a siege train to capture it. it became a contest to keeping its allies from going over to Hannibal and so maintaining a source of food and soldiers to replace the losses. Rome was able to maintain this, Hannibal was frustrated and Rome launched an attack on the Carthaginian homeland which resulted in his recall from Italy to defend it. Strategy - Hannibal attacking Rome at its heartland, responded to by a similar attack by Rome at his heartland.
The Carthaginian general Hannibal during the Second Punic War never captured the city of Rome . Rome was never even besieged by Carthaginian forces as they did not have a seige train. Hannibal did ransack the countryside of Italy .
