1. If you had limited opportunities, your parent(s) should explain that in the counselor letter and/or school profile.

2. I agree that you should talk about the opportunities that you did take advantage of and participate in.

3. Here in CA (don't know where OP is from), it's actually very difficult to participate in ECs at public schools if one is a private homeschooler. You have to join a public charter school before you're allowed to participate in most school-related activities (though I've heard of two exceptions, FRC at a particular high school, and a particular math competition).
