Maybe the reason she dosen't go outside is because there is something far worse out there. She sees all these horrible things, and shows no fear (except for FACE), but won't go outside. It's unlikely, but what if something far worse is outside. Assuming that "something worse" is just other people. It's unlikely, but let's explore the idea a bit.
Mado is actually Chell. In the end she's actually creating a portal in the street.The very end is after Glados gets destroyed, it just doesn't actually show it happening because of limitations with the software.

That makes sense. The fact that there could be something out there so horrible she dosen't, or can't, fight against it...it makes sense.
I think the reason she doesn't leave her house is a combination of some form of trauma, and an anxiety disorder that surfaced either due to this trauma, or existed beforehand and got worse. She's an agoraphobic person who was traumatized. That makes a lot of people not leave their house/room/whatever for long periods of time.
