Considering your question, I've come up with the idea that your knowledge about web applications comes from ASP.NET that folders are used to categorize different area in a web application. If I were right, you should map folders in ASP.NET with Controllers In ASP.NET MVC (it is not good analogy, but for starting is helpful). In this way, you would have three Controllers or one Controller with three Actions. I am going to choose second one.

Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
       var model = new TheViewModel(); 
       return View(model);
    }

    public ActionResult Register()
    {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult Catalog()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

View:

@model MvcApplication1.ViewModels.TheViewModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register")
<br/>
@Html.ActionLink("Catalog", "Catalog")

Your second question has answered at Passing ViewModel in ASP.Net MVC from a View to a different View using Get

Call the appropriate /controller/action in your respective button click handlers.

In your case for the register button handler direct it to /home/register. Have a view for your register functionality. In the register action of your home controller return the view you want to show.

public ActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}
