Answer 1

To map an action to the method you should do something like

<action name="selectstate" class="com.thirdtask.actions.SelectAction" method="selectstate">
  <result>/selecttag.jsp</result> 
</action>

action name should be without action extension and result by default is named "success", the path to JSP should be absolute here.

Calling ajax

$.ajax({
    type : "GET",
    url  : "<s:url action='selectstate'/>",
    dataType : 'text/javascript',
    data : {'name' : $("#selectedCountry").text()},
    success : function(result){
      if (result != null && result.length > 0){
        $("statesdivid").html(result);
      }
    },
    error : function(xhr, errmsg) {alert("No values found..!!");}
});
