Answer 1

Create a HttpModule and then redirect

Answer 2

Yes, you can change the redirection of your signout page using Sharepoint Management Shell command.

Setting the custom sign out page:

Set-SPCustomLayoutsPage -identity "Signout" -RelativePath "/_layouts/CustomSignout/Signout.aspx" -WebApplication "http://yourwebapplication"

Setting default sign out page:

Set-SPCustomLayoutsPage -identity "Signout" -reset -WebApplication "http://yourwebapplication"
