While we don’t know if Duo had planned to come to Earth eventually, when he learned of Operation Meteor he felt compelled to act quickly to avoid being a part of it, and thus ended up stealing Deathscythe and rushing planetside. From then on he’s operating in deeply hostile territory - admittedly with the aid of the Sweepers, but it’s still got to be very tough to have essentially an entire planet against you.  It also seems that Professor G kept Duo in the dark about the existence of the other scientists and their plans to each build a Gundam, so as far as he knew he was fighting alone.

And then he runs into Heero, and as soon as he decides that this must be the pilot of the Gundam he found on the ocean’s floor, he starts to treat him as a close ally - breaking him out of the Alliance hospital, reuniting him with his mobile suit, offering help with repairs.  We never get an explanation from Duo’s point of view why he goes all-out to help someone he doesn’t know anything about - in fact, in Glory of the Losers Duo knows that the Barton Foundation financed his own Gundam and planned it to be part of Operation Meteor, so it wouldn’t be much of a leap to assume Heero was working for them. But maybe the most straightforward explanation is the best - when he looks at Heero he sees someone that reminds him powerfully of himself, and he jumps to the conclusion that means Heero can be trusted, that there is some comrade-in-arms connection between them, and continues to persist in that belief even though he gets very little trust in return.
