The last one doesn't sound that natural to me:
....that she stay (at) home.
Otherwise, good job. You don't see many people try and touch the subjunctive in English.

Yes, your sentences are correct.
—If you are asking about the verb tense of the that-clause, then the rule is that we use the BASE FORM OF THE VERB in the noun clause. This is true of sentences whose main verb is “suggest”, or other similar verbs.
