Redirecting on New Address Form, When user don't have any address is default functionlity of magento. If you want to overwrite this, you need to create plugin and overwrite the default functionlity like below:

Specify new plugin class in app/code/Stack/Customer/etc/di.xml file using the below code:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
     <type name="Magento\Customer\Controller\Address\Index">
        <plugin name="address-index" type="Stack\Customer\Plugin\Controller\Address\Index" sortOrder="1" />
    </type>    
</config>

Create plugin file app/code/Stack/Customer/Plugin/Controller/Address/Index.php using the below code:

namespace Stack\Customer\Plugin\Controller\Address;
class Index
{
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory,
        \Magento\Framework\App\Response\RedirectInterface $redirect
    )
    {
        $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
        $this->_redirect = $redirect;
    }

    public function aroundExecute(\Magento\Customer\Controller\Address\Index $index, callable $proceed)
    {
        $resultPage = $this->resultPageFactory->create();
        $block = $resultPage->getLayout()->getBlock('address_book');
        if ($block) {
            $block->setRefererUrl($this->_redirect->getRefererUrl());
        }
        return $resultPage;
    }
}

Hope this help!!
