Well then, why couldn't Harry follow Peabody by opening a portal in the same place Peabody did and specify "I wanna follow Peabody"?

Peabody didn't have a strong connection to that area. It was just the first place he could manage to open a portal. Thinking "Thomas" doesn't magically establish a connection. It just chooses from available connections. I don't see why peabody would be connected to that particular spot. Remember in Thomas' case he was almost sacrificed.
Also, I think Harry said peabody would open a way, and then from the NN side he would open another way out to the real world. Harry wouldn't know where in the real world he would go, or how that place connected to that place in the NN. If he didn't catch him he was fucked.
Quantus:
Personally I though Thomas's Wayfaring ability was less a matter of him opening portals directly to his target, and more that once he was in the NN he was able to sense where he needed to travel (in the NN) to be able to open a way back. Essentially his traumatic personal experience (or the locations that resonate with his Hunger, the other criteria he can use) acts as a link the Hunger can follow basically just like harry's tracking spells operate

Yeah, nothing states that Thomas can't open a portal anywhere. As far as I know doesn't know where in the NN he will end up. Only that, once inside he can find his way back out.

Thomas himself states that he can only cross over in places that he feels comfortable in - like when he and Michael crossed back over in the gentlemen's club.
