FreeIPA is a good option, generally. As best I understand it, it's
currently available in a Docker container for CentOS.

I haven't heard about more standard packaging, but that might come along
later...
ipa-server is available from the base repos in both EL6 (v3.0) and EL7
(v3.3). RHEL7.1 beta ships with version 4.1. EL6 clients are fully
compatible with EL7 servers and vice versa.
2. Home directories should be created/deleted automagically under the
hood.
You can use pam_mkhomedir to create them, but archiving or deleting home
directories would be a manual process.
You should use pam_oddjob_mkhomedir for that, it requires fewer
privileges and integrates nicely with SELinux.
3. Every user should be able to login on any machines and find his or
her files and preferences.
You can continue using NFS for that.
FreeIPA also supports automount/autofs.
You should check out the FreeIPA demo (v4.1):
