Answer 1

_blank makes it open in a new tab so i really dont get your question

Answer 2

not with a button and a onclick="location.href='random website'" it will open in the same tag

Answer 3

A couple of suggestions...

1. If you're good at CSS, replace <button> with <a> and style <a> to look like a <button>.
2. Use a hidden <a> and trigger its click event handler, when <button> is clicked. Example: https://jsfiddle.net/L6z5t84o/
