Q: Does my iTunes Music Library imports all my songs on my iPad instead of increasing the available local  space for my device?

I hope these music files do not get any error messages.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1, More space on iPad

    No, home sharing won't copy any music (or films or TV programmes) onto your iPad, it just allows you to see your computer's iTunes library and stream it to your iPad - home sharing can be used to copy content between computers, but with iPads (and iPhones and iPod Touches) it can only stream the content.
