I'm at the beginning of Campaign for North Africa 40-43 by Bob Cross

At the beginning when Italians capture their objectives (i.e. El Hamra, Safafi and Sidi Barrani) they're placed in garrison deployment and there is a ceasefire. On turn 25, there's O'Connor's Raid that automatically cancels the cease-fire.

What's your understanding of the house rule - If the Commonwealth player wanted to attack earlier (i.e. before turn 25) can they attack the Italians at any moment (e.g. turn 8, 11, 14, etc) or do they have to wait for a theatre options to appear that allows cancelling the cease-fire?

It's turn 8, and the Commonwealth forces don't have any theatre options available. Will there be any? Can they just attack at will regardless of the theatre options or do they have to wait for a theatre option to appear to cancel the ceasefire?

It's been a while since I've played this one, but the cease fire should be "hard coded" with events. You can't attack or even convert enemy hexes if you tried.

I just went looking at the events. I see the TO should appear on turn 9 to cancel the cease fire.

Snefens is correct. Those features are hard coded, not house rules. And, from the briefing:

"The Commonwealth player gets to pick the turn of the start of O'Connor's Raid with his theater option. The option becomes available on turn 9 and remains available up to turn 24. Also, four turns of shock bonuses are synched with the start of the raid."
