Is it better for a woman to pray Tarawih and learn in the mosque, or to remain in her home, if she will be exposed to temptation and doubts there?

A woman's prayer in her home, whether for Tarawih or other prayers, is better for her and earns a greater reward. Her staying at home becomes even more imperative if her going to the mosque exposes her to fitna (temptation/strife). Furthermore, means of acquiring knowledge are abundant in this era, through following reliable websites, reading fatwas from trustworthy scholars, and listening to beneficial lectures and sermons. This suffices, making it unnecessary to go to a mosque where you might be exposed to fitna and doubt by your presence there.
