Answer 1

You don't specify the full path to the file in the rewrite rule, what you are specifiying is a new absolute URL or a URI relative to the web root. So if you want to make any URI go to a PHP file of teh same name, here is how you would do it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1.php [L]
No need to specify /home/myhome/public_html here.
This is a basic example however, as typically, this is much too broad of a rule, as it would prevent you from serving up images or other actual files from the web root (they would all end up with .php appended to the. So assuming this is actually what you want, you would commonly see something like:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1.php [L]
This rule applies in cases when the URI does not match an actual filename or directory. Thus requests to /some_file.php would not be redirected to /some_file.php.php.

You can configure your webserver to show the source for *.phps files (e.g. make symlinks) with:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Or to disable PHP processing for that directory completely use:
RemoveHandler .php
RemoveType .php
Alternatively or additionally with:
php_flag engine off
On some setups (cgi / fastcgi) even:
Options -ExecCGI
If you wanna use mod_rewrite, then write a wrapper script for displaying them via readfile() (and some basename() filtering for security) and apply it like:
RewriteRule ^(.+\.php)$ showsrc.php?file=$1
