Just to be clear regarding terminology, data do not pass from the view to the controller. Rather, the controller passes data to the view, which is then executed to generate HTML, which is sent to the browser. If there is a form on the page, when the user submits the form, the form data are sent from the browser back to the server and processed by a controller (in web2py, forms are typically posted back to the same controller that generated them). See http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview#Postbacks.
Anyway, once a form has been submitted to a controller, the values from the form are available in request.vars (also in request.post_vars if submitted via POST or request.get_vars if submitted via GET). Furthermore, if using the FORM or SQLFORM helpers, after calling the .process() method, the post-validation form values will be available in form.vars.
