NO. The sentence is a complete train of thought. It just keeps flowing with not hyphen or commas needed.

If the sentence is meant to stress "away from home," keep the hyphen. If it isn't, take it out.

The rule is if you are not sure, don't use it. A comma will do. In this case there is no need for a hyphen.

Depends whether or not you want a pause. "I would finally get to see what my sister's life was like" *pause, cue music* (in big scary voice) "AWAY FROM HOME." (a bit of exaggeration, but oh well) Without one, it would still be a complete sentence, but without emphasis on the "away from home" part. Also, the hyphen should be a longer one. not "-", which separates words, such as "one-on-one", but "--", which is used to insert a writer's thought. Such as in "On Not Returning to Normal" by Tom Sorell, the author writes "Political theorists, lawyers and policy-makers sometimes assume that responses to emergency should -- morally should -- aim at a speedy return to a 'normal' that predated the emergency." Basically, I believe that the hyphen is grammatically correct, it just depends on how you want the sentence to be read.
