Answer 1

Yes, it's

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

return Redirect::to('http://heera.it');

Check the documentation.

Update: Redirect::away('url') (For external link, Laravel Version 4.19):

public function away($path, $status = 302, $headers = array())
{
    return $this->createRedirect($path, $status, $headers);
}
