No, you can't do this directly, and if you think about it for a bit, you'll
understand why. How would you know when, if ever, the user would actually
submit the form?

However, you can build a workaround, if you can use frames. Simply create a
hidden frame, and have the page within that frame automatically reload after
some set period of time. You can use JavaScript to do this, or even just a
META tag.

No, there is no event capturing in CF. CF is essentially a batch programming
environment.
