Does くるあてもない来客を家で待つことにした means "he decided to wait around at home for some unspecified guest?"

I think it may go beyond "unspecified" and mean unexpected guests or guests about whom it can be said there's no way in hell they're going to show up. Reference back to the いじわる for an additional contextual hint.

Yeah, I figured it was along the lines of 来るはずのない来客, but it was the particular phrasing that I wanted to check on.

I'd love to know what the OP is reading. Perhaps only because she told us not to ask. (Crotch novel?)
