Do not use the same controller action. New = HTTP POST; edit = HTTP PUT, so that’s two different things. Both actions can and should be on the same controller, though.
I like the idea of using a user control for common features (e.g., editors), and wrapping that in action-specific views for stuff which should only appear on new or edit, but not both.
