Can someone trace your history on a home network if you have a separate computer?

Yes it is possible. Everything you send or transmit over a local network could potentially be viewed on another computer on that same network. You are able to download and install network sniffers such are WireShark and this will analyse the data being sent over the local network. You would need some basic knowledge of networks to interpret the data you are seeing but if there are only 2 computers on the network this is quite simple.

If the transmitions are encrypted for example if you are making a payment on a secure website this should be safe and details such are your card number would not be possible to get.
