It's random and yes, it only happens when you're there (cows and chickens are prompt to die so be careful). I'm a good archer and I don't feel like the towers really help because the main roof is kinda blocking the view. Going on the roof helps though.

Your staff is able to help so I recommend giving them good equipment. As for the safest homestead to me it's Heljarchen Hall. There are only giants nearby and they spawn rarely. Winstad Manor is a nightmare, constantly under attack (bandits, giants, creatures ...) I feel Like Lakeview is better.
