I don't fully understand what you want to do. Why redirect? Can't you
just use <input value="$!{value}"... ? Isn't the HTML form in the same
place where the script is?

That comment is only for virtual (multiwiki) mode. If you are not in
virtual mode, then watchlists should be working. If it isn't then make
sure you have a sendmail server running (XWiki isn't a mailserver, so it
must use something existing).

In login.vm, replace:
<div class="hidden"><input type="hidden" name="xredirect"
value="$!request.xredirect" /></div>
with:
<div class="hidden"><input type="hidden" name="xredirect"
value="$xwiki.getURL('Main.WebHome')" /></div>
