Answer 1

Use url()->previous():

<a href="{{ url()->previous() }}" class="btn btn-default">Back</a> 

If you want to return 2 requests back, use this solution.

Answer 2

When using the "history.back" function, the browser used to give you a copy from it's cache instead of reload the page. Best way here is not to use the "history.back" function but use the correct route to get a fresh copy of your page.
