Answer 1

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  after_action :set_latest_pages_visited

  def set_latest_pages_visited
      return unless request.get?
      return if request.xhr?

      session[:latest_pages_visited] ||= []
      session[:latest_pages_visited] << request.path_parameters
      session[:latest_pages_visited].delete_at 0 if session[:latest_pages_visited].size == 6
  end
....

and later you can do

  redirect_to session[:latest_pages_visited].last
