I used "Add mount point" to add a third row /home. After this, I have 3 mount points (/, /boot, and /home, in that order). Under the "Device" column, I set these to "root", "sda3", and "home", resp. And in the "Reformat" column, the first two are toggled on and the third is toggled off.

I thought I had it. And was I correct in choosing "Mount point assignment" instead of "Share disk with other operating system"?

If /home isn't a separate partition, you likely can't preserve it.  Back it up and restore post install.
