There are 9 days before I return home. - Correct, unnatural though.
There are 9 days more before I return home - It should be: There are 9 more days before I return home ~ a more natural way would be: I've got 9 more days before I can go home.
There are 9 days until I return home - correct, not often said.
9 Days more until I return home - feels like an incomplete sentence, you could say: Only 9 days until I go home. (the use of the word return sounds far too formal).

"There are 9 days until I return home" is the most correct. "Until" implies a definite date (9 days) or something happening up to certain moment.
The most natural US English would be " In 9 days, I am going home."

I think you are translating your mother tongue to English that's why the sentences sound unusual. I would say after three months I will go home or I am going to home.
