Answer 1

If I understand what you want to happen then this is how I'm implementing it. It's in Prototype instead of jQuery but it shouldn't take you long to translate:

new Ajax.Request('process.php', {
    on401: function(response) {
        var redirect = response.getHeader('Location');
        document.location = redirect;
    }
});

In your PHP, output the following if the session is inactive:

header('Location: http://example.com/login.php', true, 401);
exit;
