The first sentence is correct but the second is wrong. We don't say "to home". "I'm going home" is correct; "I'm going to home" is wrong.

"He asked the genie to send him back home." means that he wanted the genie to allow him to go to his house. You the place that has your kitchen, living room and bedroom. "He asked the genie to send him back to home". In some situation this sentence could be wrong. But if 'home' is a large place like Tokyo then it will be correct. Since home is not as big as your estate the word 'to' is not relevant. And home was a place inside a building it has to be described like " He asked the genie to send him back to his home. Now the word 'his' is the description of home.
