Answer 1

The Response object has a url() method which should give you the final url. So you could do like

String url = "http://t.co/i5dE1K4vSs";
Response response = Jsoup.connect(url).followRedirects(true).execute();
System.out.println(response.url())

If you want o get the intermediate redirects you should turn follow redirect off and then check for header "location". Eg

String url = "http://t.co/i5dE1K4vSs";
Response response = Jsoup.connect(url).followRedirects(false).execute();
System.out.println(response.header("location"));

If it has multiple redirect you need to recurssively call the urls.
