First, you have to unlock your encrypted partition, e.g.
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX home

You don't need the /home partition to boot your machine
properly. Unless your distribution has some tools which handle the
login/open/mount-procedure for you, you are not able to boot into
runlevel 5 directly. You could boot into rl1, open your encrypted
/home, mount it on /home
mount /dev/mapper/home /home
and boot into rl5 afterwards (init 5).

That's impossible without more information on your partitions.
Unless you are targeting to do all the stuff yourself, I would
recommend using a dsitribution which handles the crypto-stuff for you,
e.g. Archlinux, Fedora, Opensuse, Debian, Ubuntu... whatever.
There's full support in at least Arch and Fedora.
