Answer 1

To refresh a subgrid you can use

Xrm.Page.getControl('new_subgrid').refresh();

However in my experience it is very buggy (since RU12 anyway), so use with caution. You also need to check the type of the control you retrieve and ensure it is a grid or an error will be thrown.

However you have asked a slightly different question:

When I save on my Order Form I want to refresh my Order associated View (in the Account Form)

Which I understand to mean you have an Order form opened from an Account form and want to refresh the subgrid on the Account form.

The easy answer is no, you cannot do this in a supported way.

It may be possible but it wouldn't pretty. You'd need to get a reference to the opening window, which may be available in

window.opener

I haven't tried and am not infront of a machine to try it. But I would advise against it, the alternative is a single click to manually refresh the subgrid; it isn't a bad alternative.
