Answer 1

You can try below code in your controller to set the redirect to your custom URL.

Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url)->sendResponse();
// or
Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url)->sendResponse();

Edit:

$this->loadLayout();
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('block_class')->setTemplate('template_file_path'));
// Do your process
$this->renderLayout();

Reference: Can you set a template for every action within a controller?

Hope it helps!!!

In the controller action you need to write this line to redirect with current parameter (redirect inside your domain, not to an external website)

$this->_redirect('testname/index/index', $this->getRequest()->getParams());
