At what age is it legally ok to just leave you parents house and be on your own?
without having a warrant put out for being a runaway or anything. 100% ok to just leave without their consent.

You can legally leave your home with no possibility of legal reprecussions at age 18.

You have to be 18.

Yes, they can.

I don't know how to put it any clearer than "you must be 18 to legally leave your home without any reprecussions."
