Have you thought about maybe looking into the AJAX calls that are available? That way, the page won't postback. You can call a controller to do whatever you need with the data from the form.
Otherwise, I can't see an easy way without somehow saving the state of where the page was called from (menu or view). In which case you can try the query string parameter, hidden variable, or session variable. Hope this helps!
