       if(request.getMethod() == 'GET'){
    	   //CREATING THE CUSTOM FORM AND ADDING FIELDS IN THE FORM
    	   var form = nlapiCreateForm('Custom Customer Form');
           form.addField('sfg_company', 'text', 'Company Name').setMandatory(true);
           form.addField('sfg_address1','text','Address1');

           form.addField('sfg_phone','phone','Phone');
           form.addSubmitButton('Submit');
           response.writePage(form);
           
        }else{
        	nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','form',form);
        	// CREATING THE RECORD BY GETTING THE VALUES ENTERED IN THE CUSTOM FORM
        	 var compName = request.getParameter('sfg_company');
             var compAdd1 = request.getParameter('sfg_address1');    
             var compAdd2 = request.getParameter('sfg_address2');   
             var cities = request.getParameter('sfg_city');
             var stateName =request.getParameter('sfg_state');

             newCust.setFieldValue('companyname', compName);
             newCust.setLineItemValue('addressbook', 'addr1', 1, compAdd1);
             newCust.setLineItemValue('addressbook', 'addr2', 1, compAdd2);
             newCust.setLineItemValue('addressbook', 'city', 1, cities);

             var receiver =  email_addr;
             var subject = 'Customer Activation Link';
             var recordId = nlapiGetRecordId();
             var url = "https://system.na1.netsuite.com/app/common/entity/custjob.nl?id="+recordId+"&whence=";

             nlapiSendEmail(sender,receiver,subject,body);
             var id = nlapiSubmitRecord(newCust);
             nlapiSetRedirectURL('RECORD','customer',id,null,false);
        	
        }

It sounds like what you basically want is to send out a confirmation link to a customer that they can click and complete some sort of registration.

If you want to re-use your suitele code then you need to pass a custom stage or action parameter that you can trigger different actions from. e.g.:

var stage = request.getParameter('custparam_action') || 'showForm';
switch(stage){
  case 'showForm': doShowForm(request, response); break;
  case 'validate' : doValidate(request, response); break;
}...

Then the url you need to send out needs to reference the suitelet rather than the customer page in Netsuite:

var ctx = nlapiGetContext();
var url = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', ctx.getScriptId(), ctx.getDeploymentId(), true) +"&custparam_action=validate"+ getSecureValidationParams());

the function getSecureValidationParams should create some sort of time sensitive parameters including a hashed key. If the request passes validation then you would show whatever other form you want to show or redirect to or show a thank you page.
