Answer 1

You can try this

<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="ImageButton1" PostBackUrl="http://www.google.com" /> 

Answer 2

Clicking on an ImageButton will cause a PostBack to the server where you can handle the 'Click' event. From there you can redirect wherever you want.

<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="ImageButton1" OnClick="ImageButton1_Click" ...

protected void ImageButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com");
}

You can also perform redirects from the client side using the OnClientClick property of the ImageButton:

<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="ImageButton1" OnClientClick="window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com';" ...

Or, you can avoid all this complexity by wrapping a standard <img /> element or ASP.NET Image with a link:

<a href="http://google.com">
    <img src="/someimage.jpg" alt="" />
</a>
