Answer 1

A dropdown is a <select> element not an <input>.
Of course this can be done I would recommend making a small plugin for this and adding the redirect to the init action something like this.

<?php
/*
Plugin name: redirect on post
Desciption: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13686245/how-to-create-a-custom-url-based-on-dropdown-in-wordpress-form-submission
*/ 
function redirect_on_submit() {
  // check if the post is set
  if (isset($_POST['dropdown_name']) && ! empty ($_POST['dropdown_name'])) {
    header( "Location: http://mysite.com/result/?" . $_POST['dropdown_name'] );
  }
}
add_action('init', redirect_on_submit);

add this to a new file in the plugin folder and activate it in the plugin menu.
