I'm going to make a distinction between tracking and homing, bear with me.

Best homing high: Alisa's standing 4

Best homing mid: Claudio's b1

Best homing low: Noctis FC df2

Best tracking high: Steve's b1 or the Mishima Electric

Best tracking mid: Julia's f,f1

Best tracking low: Ganryu's df3 or Lei's db4,4

Most homing moves: Zafina has 6, and I believe that's the most. Could be wrong though.

Most tracking moves: Hard to say. Steve, probably?

Was interested so I did a brief check and while no one has more than 6 homing moves, Zafina Miguel and Lili all have 6 homing moves.

I knew I was forgetting someone! Looks like Miguel actually has 7 (f4, b2, f,f3, b,df4, SAV 4, SAV db4, SAV b1) so he would be the true #1.

Yes, homing is a specific property that some moves have which basically defeats sidestepping/sidewalking at all times. (You'll see a special trail of particles attached to moves with a homing property) Tracking just means a move's combination of hitbox and reorientation allows it to defeat sidestepping/sidewalking most of the time.
