Can I just copy over my home directory to a USB and copy them back? Will this cause any problems with permissions or anything?
What about the option to install without wiping my home...will that work?

Yes, that should work fine.
However, if your /home on its own partition, there is an easier way; the Fedora installer (called Anaconda) can be told to re-use the old /home partition as the new /home partition.

If you backup and restore your /home directory there shouldn't be any major problems especially if you're reinstalling the same version of Fedora. Otherwise there might be a couple of SELinux issues caused by the fact that new labels must be used for some of the files, but it's highly unlikely.
