After looking at the West Point calendar, it looks like classes will be over and TEEs taken by May 5. My question is, after this, are cadets allowed to go home for summer?

See:

Sometime during the summer, cadets are given some time off. As adult active duty military members in a pre-comm training program, they have left full summers off behind them. Summers are devoted to professional and military training, development and experiences. These all move the cadet along toward a commission as well as help them make decisions about branches.

You may have been looking at just an academic year calendar.

You can get anywhere from 7 weeks to 4 days of summer break, depending on your schedule. It’s all up to grad requirements, whether you do STAP or an AIAD, or if you do a MIAD (that being said there’s about a 99% chance you get placed in Air Assault)
 
After TEE's underclass cadets will still be required to stay for graduation week and attend the graduation ceremony. For tentative planning purposes, use graduation day for when your cadet will be free. But understand that nothing will be finalized until sometime in the latter half of 2nd semester.

Some cadets will have a different schedule depending on STAP, athletics, summer training assignment, and other activities.
 
No. They may get a day or two or three between final exams (TEEs) and the start of Grad Week. Each cadet has an individualized summer schedule. It will not start to materialize until about February.
 
Graduation for 2023 is scheduled for May 27. TEE week usually ends the Friday of the week prior to Grad Week. This means that TEE week would not end until around May 19. Not sure where you came up with the May 5 date. I don't see it on the calendar released to parents by USMA. Needless to say, depending on when a cadets last TEE is scheduled, he or she could get a few extra days off. In that circumstance, many cadets got to the city. But they are required to be back by that weekend preceding Grad Week. As mentioned above, cadets time off and summer activities usually don't begin until after graduation. The one exception I am aware of is - CFT 1 may actually start as soon as TEE week ends.
