Answer 1

Redirects only say "The data you requested can be found here".

HTTP provides no way to say "Even though you requested a resource to go inside a page, you should should leave that page and go somewhere else".

You need to return a response that your JavaScript understands to mean "Go to a different location" and process it in your own code.
