Answer 1

As long as you have the default route it should work fine. Are you having problems.

Answer 2

To catch errors based on status code this should work fine. For other errors thrown in your application you can add the HandleError attribute to your controller - this will by default redirect to your Error page in ~/Views/Shared/ or to a specified view if given.

[HandleError]
public class HomeController : Controller
