Do you mean sysctl net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.accept_redirects ?
Note that this settings is ignored (and so are ICMP redirects) when
forwarding is enabled, thus when Linux acts as a router.

If it is configured to do so. If it runs a Linux kernel, see sysctl
net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.send_redirects.

Yes, a temporary redirect route to 8.8.8.8 will be created in the
routing cache. You can see it with "ip route show cache".
Note : This does not seem to be much related to netfilter.
