Apparently I just noticed my nearly one-year-old desktop has a /root directory located in /home in addition to the normal /usr directory. ls -la shows that the directory is owned by root and was created BEFORE I installed the system, and hasn’t been modified since the day after I installed Manjaro. …

Yes, it is safe to remove that. That issue is already old, and was caused by a misconfigured package.

Why is there a /home/root directory in /home?

By “misconfigured package” you mean hardcode-fixer?
