Answer 1

This should do the job:

public class MyCustomActionFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        if (someCondition)
        {
            var values = new RouteValueDictionary(new { 
                action = "index",
                controller = "login"
            });
            filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(values);
        }
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

Make sure your attribute derives from ActionFilterAttribute.
