Regarding #2, I replaced the sever/xxx/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war/index.html file with my own that did the redirect. Regarding #1, everything within the /portal context goes to the Portal, which, if it cannot determine what to do, displays the portal home page. I don't know if you can change that behavior. Though looking at jboss-portal.sar/conf/data/default-object.xml, I would be tempted to experiment with the values for the control.portal.not_found and control.page.not_found properties.
