a. For a regular, non-financial application, I would use https to send
the authentication data.  If you are using PHP on the server-side, I
would use JSON to perform the transfer.  See the GWT JSON
documentation.

b. Whenever possible avoid page loads.  That's one of the main
features of AJAX.  Just change out the div when your authentication
call returns success.

I recommend before starting an app that you take a look at the History
service for managing backward and forward navigation by the user using
the browser back/forward buttons.  GWT can handle this well, but you
need to code for it.  I didn't do this and retrofitting such
functionality after the fact is painful.  If you build it in from the
start it is nearly painless.  You might not think you need it, but you
do, trust me.
