Answer 1

Did you write your own FormsAuth attribute for the action? If so, in the OnActionExecuting method, you get passed the FilterExecutingContext. You can use this to pass back the 401 code.

public class FormsAuth : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(FilterExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        filterContext.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 401;
        filterContext.Cancel = true;
    }
}

This should work. I am not sure if you wrote the FormsAuth attribute or if you got it from somewhere else.
