Answer 1

LoggingInEvent is raised before the user is authenticated. So the first part of your condition is always false. Move you logics under LoggedIn event. Try this one:

protected void baseLogin1_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && Context.User.IsInRole("Admin"))
    {
        Context.Response.Redirect("admin/Default.aspx");
    }
}

Answer 2

Use the LoggedIn event: Event description is here

You should really be using Server.Transfer("~/admin/Default.aspx"); as it is a little more efficient (less round trips).

If the page needs to preserve the query string for a bookmark or it is important to preseve the correct URL in the browser then Response.Redirect() is needed but be aware of the extra bandwidth cost.
