Answer 1

In Ajax....Simply you can create an excel file on server ... ajax response will be the path of the excel file...On ajax success open the excel file in new tab (it automatically downloads excel) and at the same time open new tab with new location.

sample code inside ajax success given below

  window.open("path to excel..");
    window.open("new location");

also can use (if needed)

window.location.replace("new location");

Open multiple links in Chrome at once as new tabs
