Ow. First I'd check places like /var/log, or /var/cache/apt/archives,
possibly one or the other places are filling up with log or other info.

It probably is, but the downside is that you lose the 'separateness' of
the home partition (or vice versa, keeping the OS separate from your
data). I wouldn't recommend it.

Resizing /home won't help, since it's mounted on another partition.
What's in /, is everything that *isn't* mounted someplace else (i.e,
if /tmp or /home is on another partition, it doesn't count against
space used in /', even though it's mounted as part of /.)
