I often have a need to exclude something from rewriting, and I ususaly
do it by having a rule that would match it, but that does not change
it, and giving it the L flag.
Your problem I would solve like this:
RewriteRule ^/redirect∖.html$ /redirect.html [L]
RewriteRule ^/.*$ /redirect.html
(Nortice also how your rule
RewriteRule ^/$ /redirect.html
would only match /, not every page)
