Answer 1

Change your controller Action. The page that you get is blank because you are not returning anything. Do

 public ActionResult SendPdfStatement(string InvoiceNumber)

    {
    InvoiceNumber = InvoiceNumber.Trim();

        ObjectParameter[] parameters = new ObjectParameter[1];
        parameters[0] = new ObjectParameter("InvoiceNumber", InvoiceNumber);

        List list = new List();
        list = _db.ExecuteFunction("uspInvoiceStatement", parameters).ToList();

        var statementResult = _db.ExecuteFunction("uspInvoiceStatement", parameters);
        Models.Statement statement = statementResult.SingleOrDefault();

        pdfStatementController.WriteInTemplate(statement); 

    return View();
    }

EDIT: Or you should use AJAX so that your page is not reloaded and you don't have to return anything from your method. Read here http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/older-versions-1/contact-manager/iteration-7-add-ajax-functionality-cs.
