Answer 1

Please check if this can narrow down the issue:

1. Go to browser settings>developer tools>console and check mark the preserve log option.

2. Please check if navigateToLoginRequestUrl is set to true in userAgentApplication callback constructor. By default, msal tries to take you back to the loginStartPage after successful authentication. It can be disabled or set to false when not required. See : AzureAD/msal for js (github.com)
3. Please check if you can use callback path like this as stated in junnas blog and store a local redirect url session cache
