Hi bigbrother,
In order to understand better what you are trying to achieve, can you post both iRules please? There are a number of factors here like iRule priority and what conditions are being used to trigger your redirect. If on the other hand you are just testing then try it out! I do this all the time when I have the same kind of questions about iRule behaviour.
As for TCP and HTTP session...
The redirect is effectively a HTTP response from the F5 and not from the backend server so the HTTP session will be complete. The browser will request a new HTTP session to new destination. The browser will create a new TCP session to the new server to support the new HTTP session.
Regards
