Answer 1

In homestead, MySQL is configured to bind to the VM's 10.x.x.x address, and does not bind to 127.0.0.1

You can change this by editing /etc/mysql/my.cnf and adding the line:

bind-address = 0.0.0.0

This will allow you to use 127.0.0.1 in your database configuration for both web and CLI use of the database.
