Answer 1

I would recommend using two asp:Panel controls. One contains the success message, which is initially hidden; the other the form fields:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlSuccess" Visible="false" runat="server">Success message here</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlContact" runat="server">Input fields here</asp:Panel>

When the contact request is successfully saved to the database, set the Visible property of pnlSuccess to true and pnlContact.Visible to false. This will show the same page, but with the message visible and the form hidden.
