I've heard that the Model S can join your home's wifi to speed downloads, etc. Does anyone know if it supports 802.11n 5GHz wifi?

the MS does not support 5GHz.
It also is not good at roaming between APs. If mine grabs onto the AP in the front of the house as I drive by to get to the detached garage (where there is an AP not 10 feet from the car) it will hold onto that AP and the mobile app will not work. The garage is just far enough away that it can hold the signal but not pass traffic on the house AP.

Is there any advantage to using an LTE wifi hotspot, or even your phone as a hotspot, while on the move to give you a faster connection than the Tesla's built in 3G?

Could you just block the car by it's MAC address at that first AP?
When you are on Wifi does the Tesla connect into the subnet on your LAN? My LAN is on 192.168.1.X - on the Tesla's browser would I be able to access web sites on my LAN that aren't accessible to the internet?
First off, because you can. Secondly it is illegal in many places to use a phone while in your car so you can use a phone but it will cost you if you get caught.Yes and Yes, but, why? I would assume you probably have an iPhone/Android/Tablet you could use for that, and we are only talking about when your car is at hour house/on your WiFi.

I may use a Wifi hotspot to create a CAN (Car Area Network) to connect all devices in my car. It would be useful to be able to select content in an application like Plex that could be "casted" to an iPad in the back seat, perhaps from a media server in the trunk. You could also do this with a phone but there is the issue that I raised above.
i have some of my local stuff forwarded and I can get to the pages, at least when I use the WAN IP address and port that I am forwarding to. But the Tesla browser doesn't seem to like the authentication.Seems it will require some cheating to get the Tesla browser to connect to a local resource, though.
