1 in: "In" is the best choice here. If we tell someone to "step right in", we are inviting them to enter a room. This is a warm and polite way of welcoming someone. Example: "Step right in, Mr Morrissey, and we'll begin your examination".
1 out: This is not the right answer. To "step out (of a room)" is to leave it. We need the opposite meaning here.
1 down: This is not the right answer. To "step down" is to "resign" or decide to leave a job or other position. This is unrelated to entering a room.
1 aside: This is not the right answer. To "step aside" is to move out of someone's way, either literally or figuratively. This is unrelated to entering a room.
2 to: "To" is the term needed here. We always welcome somebody to a place. Some more examples: "Welcome to the jungle", "Welcome to Africa", "Welcome to London".
2 in: It is grammatically incorrect to say "welcome in my home".
2 at: It is grammatically incorrect to say "welcome at my home".
2 within: It is highly unnatural to say "welcome within my home": this sounds very awkward.
