I normally retrieve it with $requestParameter{var1}
eg. setPageSessionAttribute(key="var1" value="$requestParameter{var1}")
and then when button press causes the form to submit, i can get back
this variable by using $pageSession{var1}

It won't get pass to different page. But if it goes back to the same
page, it stays. eg. it will still be there if you click the 'sort'
symbol on a table and the page refresh with the new sorting.

session variable stays through the current session. I try to avoid
using session variable if i can, we only use very few session variable
in admin console. I find the page session variable to be really useful
and sufficient for many case.
