The hungarian nation, identity, language were formed in East Europe which called Magna Hungaria.
The proto-ugric homeland was in West Siberia not the hungarian, this is forest area not Steppe and early magyars were steppe nomads. Nobody has found any proof for hungarian speakers in Asia.

While Székely dialect uses the same vocabulary, and morphological, grammatical rules with Modern Hungarian in 98-99% of the time, I wouldn't see how could any native speaker have any difficulty understanding it. Of course they have a more rustic accent, from the mountains, but it's not like they mostly speak like that either way, nowadays the Székely speak a pretty close to Standard Modern Hungarian. About the Csángó it's a different story, as they only use around 70% the same vocabulary as Modern Standard Hungarian, while they also make word order and sentence construction changes in about 1/3 of the cases. This is because in their isolation they created unique words only to their community and also adopted many Moldovan loan words.

I personally traveled there, had partied and drank with them, also worked with them and never once I had any problem understanding any of them. Moreover, I was surprised how they barely used their notorious strong accent. Maybe among them they use it more strongly, but personally I never found it hard to understand.
