Does the Turbo Tax Home and Business version create the Schedule C?

For independent contractor expenses such as mobile phone, internet, computer equipment, etc. will the Home and Business versions create the Schedule C based on questions or will I still manually need enter into Schedule C form?

Yes it will create Schedule C .  In fact All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. 

After you enter your personal info, the Home & Business program will take you through your business income under the Business tab.  Or you can manually enter directly into the Schedule C form.  When or why did you have to manually enter Schedule C ?

Thanks, I've always used the Deluxe version but I don't see (or have not) come across yet which questions would trigger the generation of a Schedule C for deductions.
