These are such huge diversions from the books that I honestly have no idea what's going to happen next. Which is in a way a good thing.
For example, in the books this Hard Home thing was more or less just referred to here or there. Jon sends word to Eastwatch to dispatch the King's fleet to aid/pick them up and take the wildlings there to safety. He himself does not go there.
In another part (book 5 I think) there is also mention made that some pirates had gone to Hard Home, picked up some wildlings with the promise of helping them, only to enslave the lot of them once they were at sea.
As for Tyrion, the differences in that storyline are uncountable at this point, but again the result is basically the same... he reaches his destination (Daenarys), it's just that in the books it took a lot longer and a lot more happens to him along the way, with a lot more characters, one of which is.... wait for it... another TARGARYEN. The series seems to have cut that out entirely.
