I have an older iPad Pro with a home button. How do you replicate the push of a home button when your using universal control on a MacBook?

The answer to your question is here (plus a lot more):

iPad features​

When moved to an iPad, the cursor becomes a dot representing the tip of your finger. Use your mouse or trackpad to click or click and hold, just as you would use your finger to touch or touch and hold.
You can also use most trackpad gestures for iPad. Or take actions such as these:
  • Open the Dock: Move the cursor past the bottom of the screen.
  • 👉 Go Home: While using an app, move the cursor past the bottom of the screen. After the Dock appears, move the cursor past the bottom of the screen again.
  • Open the App Switcher: While on the Home Screen, move the cursor past the bottom of the screen, then move the cursor past the bottom of the screen again.
  • Open Control Center: Click the status icons in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  • Open Notification Center: Click the time and date in upper-left corner of the screen. Or move the cursor past the top of the screen, unless your iPad display is below another display.
  • Open search: While on the Home Screen, scroll down.
To switch to using the onscreen keyboard on your iPad, tap or click the keyboard icon

on the iPad screen. You can resume typing on the physical keyboard at any time.
