Is there a Hadith reported from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Whoever prays two rak'ahs before leaving his home and after entering it, Allah will protect him from evil"? And are these two rak'ahs sunnah?

It is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that two rak'ahs upon leaving prevent an evil exit, and two rak'ahs upon entering prevent an evil entry. Performing them is recommended, except during times when prayer is forbidden. Moreover, voluntary prayers in the home are better, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged this, for a man's prayer in his home is better than his prayer in the mosque, except for the obligatory prayers. And Allah places goodness in his home due to his prayers.
