Answer 1

Problem isn't in your button, but in the form that you are submitting. Make sure that you specify action and controller in a form within your partial view.

For example:

@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionToCall", "ControllerContainingAction", FormMethod.POST)) {
     <p>
         My Form
     </p>
}
