I'm not sure the referer is the answer. For your first question, the browser sets the Referer header value. I'm not aware of any method for the application (or LTM) to instruct the client to set the referer header value for another request to any value. If it were possible, it would probably be a security concern. If you wanted to include some identifier in your application that the other app could reference, maybe you could add a query string parameter with some kind of referrer ID:
my link to an external site with an identifier
Can you elaborate on what information you want to pass for the second scenario? You could potentially modify the referer header value when the client makes a request to your site via LTM using HTTP::header replace Referer $newreferer_value. What would you want to set the referer to? I'm guessing this isn't what you want though.
