When I first played Crusader Kings 2 I remember my king participating in battles. How do I get my king to take up arms and go out into battle?

What you call “home base” is actually called capital:
As you can see, the county that's your capital is marked with a crown on the county view. And hovering over it explains what being capital means.
If you look at any other county in your demesne, the crown becomes a button you can use to move your capital:
If you press it, a dialog appears explaining that you can move your capital only once per lifetime:
NOTE: An exception to the one-move-per-lifetime rule is that a ruler can always (in peacetime) move his capital from where it currently is to the De Jure capital of his primary Title.
You can't directly move the capital of your vassals, but you can force them to do that by revoking the county that is their current capital. But you can't choose where will they move the capital to.
If you want to find out the size of a single realm, I would go the way bd33 suggested.
But if you want to get an overview of the sizes of all realms, go to ledger:
Then get to its tenth page (“Independent States”) and click on the “Realm Size” column heading to sort the list by that:

You need to assign your King as the leader of one of the three flanks of your army. To do this, select your army and click the blue name on one of the three flanks. Find and assign your King.
If you are in enemy territory, you will need to either have your army be on the move or switch from siege view to army view.
Note: There are certain things that may prevent you from doing this such as your "Title Revokation" law setting, and if you are serving a higher liege in their court actively.
