Don't know when will I be able to use Gnome yet be rest assured it'll be soon. Just need to sort out a few things first.

The /home is usually the largest directory, all users and user files
are placed under it.
You are correct, you don't need another user,
I just always use one for testing different Desktop Environments/Window Managers.
You never know what's going to happen when you fire up a new
DE/WM, you might even corrupt the user's GUI profile.
Better safe than sorry, adding and deleting a new user is easy,
fixing a corrupted profile isn't quite as easy.
