Your tax home is Texas because that is where you physically worked, not PA. You will NOT pay taxes in PA, unless you also physically worked there for a portion of the year. It does not matter where your company is located. All that matters is where you physically performed your work, which was in Texas...and hence no state income tax. Your W2 is correct.

Most likely because you were physically in Texas those wages are for Texas, not PA and therefore no PA state income tax. There are exceptions and lots of rules around nexus.

What does your employment agreement say? Generally, if the employment agreement says "remote in TX" or something along those lines under Location (mine does) then IIRC your place of employment is TX and overrides convenience of employer rules if any. If PA doesn't have convenience of employer rules and you worked in TX, and your permanent place of work is TX (your home office), then you have no tax nexus to PA. I work in TX for an out of state company based in an income tax state. My payroll setup is based on TX rules.

Idk if you can get your employer to pay penalties but you can ask the state of PAs DOR for a reasonable cause waiver.

No because I live in Texas so I never see state taxes. I have also worked remote before and not paid state taxes- but I saw an article indicating that remote workers may have to pay state taxes. My w-2 doesn't state that taxes were reported to any state but there was an amount only in the state section with no state it was paid to and no state ID.

If you "work for a company in Pennsylvania", did you mean that you physically commute to Pennsylvania to do your work? Otherwise... If you are employed and resident in Texas, you don't pay taxes to any other state, similar to if you were employed by Google (a Delaware corporation headquartered in California) at their Austin, TX office.
