Answer 1

when you click on your link, the procedure DELETE_empno is firing but because Apex has not submitted the page (you just execute the PL/SQL procedure from a url call), you will have to redirect the URL to the page you want to go to.
This can be done using the OWA_UTIL.redirect_url api after your pl/sql successfully executes.
owa_util.redirect_url ('f?p=&APP_PAGE_ID.:PAGE_NO:&SESSION.:::CC');
where:
PAGE_ID = the page number you want to redirect to
CC = the page number to clear the cache of (if requierd)
An alternative approach may be to change your anchor link to submit the page with a delete request and fire your process that way. By doing this, you could then assign it a page branch, cache clear etc in the normale way
