1) The guy now knows where you are and that you have a gun.

You say this like it's a bad thing. I sure as Hell don't have cotton candy for him.

Which includes rethinking/retreating. This is not a bad thing.

It's possible, but if I'm chambering a round, it's not going to be in a direct line of sight. Further, I have the tactical advantage because I have, "home court advantage." Iknow the layout of my house, and they do not.

If you have that many perpetrators in your house, you think you're NOT screwed?
