ELI5, If you take a random ant from a colony and put it 20 meters away, will it find way “home”? Also, if you put an ant so far away from the colony, that it won’t be able to go back, will it survive on its own?

20m? It will most likely find it’s way back.. Further than that, it’ll just keep wandering around looking for food until it dies of some cause or the other.. It needs to find the scent trail of it’s colony, if it doesn’t find the scent, it has no way of getting back
