Answer 1

can't you just pass the additional parameter with the controller and action?:

$router->map('Company', 'Company', array(
     'controller' => 'companies',
     'action' => 'add',
     'paramkey' => 'paramvalue',
     'anotherparam' => 'anothervalue'));

These then show up in the request, though probably not as post. Try seeing what your controller's $this->request looks like when you pass those parameters.
