Answer 1

How can I make sure the same object is passed by view. I do not want to add the object as sessionAttribute since a user might modify many employees in a session

You could make a field in the object that is filled with a random number at the time of initial render and then store that object in the session. In the view you can map that field with a hidden input and now when user sends a request to edit action you can get that hidden field and fetch the original object from session by the number in the hidden field. That would resolve the multiple edits in different tabs conflict.
