   solution can be found at:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats
   or simply add &children=o into the php

   That code will show only the parent categories.
   It doesn't solve the second part - showing chidren on parent pages.

   Probably you have to use some conditional tag(s) - if on the home page show this... if else, show something else.
   See http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

   I am not a coder but that will not work, of course.
   Read again and again the conditionals, especially the Working examples and the Variable sidebar content.

    I am not sure it will work, I am just copying from the Codex:

    <?php
// let's generate info appropriate to the page being displayed
if (is_home()) {
// we're on the home page, so let's show a list of all top-level categories
echo "<ul>"; wp_list_cats('optionall=0&sort_column=name&list=1&children=0');
echo "</ul>";
} elseif (is_category()) {
// we're looking at a single category view, so let's show _children categories
echo "<ul>";
wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&
use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=' . get_query_var('cat'));
echo "</ul>";
}
?>
