Answer 1

If you check your server logs, you should see that no browser actually transmits the #anchor part of the URL the request, so you can't pick it up on the server side.

If you need to know it, you'll need to write some Javascript to extract it from the document.location.href and send it to your server, either by turning it into a regular GET parameter and redirecting the user, or in the background with an XMLHttpRequest/AJAX.
