You are mounting it with the "users" option,  from "man mount"...
users  Allow every user to mount and unmount  the  file  system.
       This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev
       (unless overridden  by  subsequent  options,  as  in  the
       option line users,exec,dev,suid).
.... note the "noexec" implication.

Yes.  Create a new partition,  copy the contents of home there, delete
the contents of home, mount new partition as /home
