does nest need a c wire

Only if you want it to work for more than a year. The instructions and folks here will tell you the c wire isn't required, but I have found that that is not really true. Sure, it will work for 6 to 12 months, but then the battery will die. You can then try charging it with a USB cable but the first time you do that you will get a couple days more use from it. After that, it won't last long enough to work. And, if you try to replace the battery there's a good chance that won't work, either and, if you are lucky enough to still be under warranty, it voids your warranty. My 2nd nest has just failed and rather than buy a 3rd, or pay an electrician to add a c wire, I am going to replace it with a much less expensive honeywell.

does this work with 220v

NO, a not. Google Nest is not designed for 220v electrical-baseboard heating systems, and attempting to connect it to such a system will destroy the unit. However, if your baseboard system is boiler/steam-heated, it WILL work with those, since those are still a low-voltage system that simply opens & closes a valve to regulate temperature. On a side note, it is utterly dreadful just how poor the quality other answers here are. Do people honestly not know what 220v is in relation to heating? Folks, simply enough, if you don't know the answer, then DON'T respond.

How does it detect when you're home? If we're gone and kids are home with a babysitter, will it know someone's home? Or is it based on cell location?

If you add Nest Protect smoke/CO detectors, the system will also use their motion detectors to sense if you're home. This can be useful if the thermostat is located somewhere that doesn't get much foot traffic or if you spend long hours in another room.

Can the Nest replace my current Nexia thermostat ?

You will have to get a wiring diagram to see if nest is compatible.
