Answer 1

Use a HttpResponseRedirect to direct to the table view w/the newly created object's id. Here's an abbreviated example:

def first(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
          form = MyModelForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
          if form.is_valid():
               my_model = form.save()

               return HttpResponseRedirect('/second/%s/' % (my_model.pk)) # should actually use reverse here.
      # normal get stuff here

def second(request, my_model_pk):
     my_model = MyModel.objects.get(pk=my_model_pk)

     # return your template w/my model in the context and render
