A subpoena can be left in the door of your home, but it would not meet the legal requirements of proper delivery which is supposed to be by hand. However, if you fail to appear at court a warrant will be issued and it will be your word against the process server's that the subpoena wasn't delivered properly. If you know about the court date, whether properly served or not, it is in your best interests to attend the hearing.

No a summons must be served to the person being summoned. It can't be just left on the doorstep. There must be confirmation, face to face, that the person being served is the person whose name is on the summons.

If someone carries it there, certainly. It can be delivered in person to just about anyplace. In some cases, it can be fastened to the door of the legal residence.
