I would not use @annotation, I would match statically on your methods:

@Before("execution(@WorkflowAction * *(..)))")

Passing the form instance is straightforward:

@Before("execution(@WorkflowAction * *(..))) && this(f)")
public void goo(Page.Form formInstance) {}

Accessing the outer instance of Page is not so eay.   Here are the options:

1) define a getter in Form and call it from the advice

public void getPage() {
  return Page.this;
}

2) Write a more complex pointcut that uses a wormhole pattern to pass the
enclosing instance through to the advice:

@Before("execution(@WorkflowAction * *(..)) && cflow(this(p))")
public void foo(Page p) { }


3) use an AspectJ code style intertype declaration to add that getter from
option (1):

public Page Page.Form.getPage() {
  return Page.this;
}
(this could possibly be done in annotation style @DeclareParents, but just
the thought of the messiness of that declaration puts me off trying it)

4) Rely on how the compiler implements inner classes:

public void goo(Page.Form formInstance) {}
            Field f = Page.Form.class.getDeclaredField("this$0");
            f.setAccessible(true);
            System.out.println("Page is " + formInstance.get(p));
}
