It's normal to say "Meet me at the house", but it's weird to say "Meet me at the home".

I use it if there is only one in my city. Such as the Olive Garden. I don't know why. It just doesn't sound right without it.

Ukraine means "Edge", so basically, it's called that because it was "The Edge" of the Soviet Union. hence "The Ukraine"

Not quite, Sudan is the only county that you should add "the" to it's name. An unknown exception.
