Answer 1

You have used a wrong overload of BeginForm and it treats the new { @name = "form1" } as the route values collection.

You need to use a different overload which allows you to pass html attributes like this one:

@using (Html.BeginForm(
              "Upload", //action name
              "AjaxUpload", // controller name
              FormMethod.Post, // form method
              new { name = "form1" }) // htmlAttributes
       ){

}
