I want to take 20G from my /home and put it in my /. I logged into live installation drive and launched gparted.

The partitions look like this:

enter image description here

sda4 is root, sda5 is boot and sda6 my home partition.

If I click on sda6 and resize it from left to right I will get a warning that moving partition might cause your operating system to fail to boot and after that partitions look like this: enter image description here

Now there is sda5(my boot partition) in the way and the only way is to move it to the right of my unallocated space like this:

enter image description here

Now I can merge unallocated space with root:

enter image description here

If I click apply will lgparted be able to generate new fstab or do I have to do it manually?

There's no need for gparted to generate a new /etc/fstab (it never does this anyway). You are not creating any new partitions or changing UUIDs, so you should be good to go.

That being said, that warning is posted for a reason: PLEASE have a system backup in case gparted crashes.
