I’ve been looking around for a form plugin to help with doing wordpress forms and haven’t been having any luck on what I’m looking for yet. I can write them easy enough myself but I don’t know how WP handles them in different conditions, but I need a form the submits data using the GET method instead of POST, and will open a new page with the ?email=email@server.com in the address bar. Is formidable able to be configured to submit data to an external site using GET and putting the information in the address bar so that it loads the data in the other forms boxes?

You can't submit with GET instead of POST, but you can use the option to redirect to another page and insert all the field values into that url. Let us know if you still have questions.

What about sending the form data into another wordpress page? Say I have two pages, Home and Form, and I want home to have two text boxes, Name and Email. What I want to happen is when I hit submit for the Form page to load with Name and Email already filled with the data from the previous page. Is this possible?

If I made a page outside of wordpress it would work with my own form, but not if I left it there. That's the issue I'm having with now.

Yes, in the form options for your 1st form, you can change the Redirect URL to something like this:
[siteurl]/form2?name=[25]&email=[26] where [25] is the ID of your name field and [26] the name of your email field.
The resulting URL that the user would be directed to would be something like: http://yoursite.com?name=john&email=john@gmail.com
Once those parameters are in the URL, you can pull them into your 2nd formidable form if you would like by using [get param=name] as a default value in your name field and [get param=email] for your email field.
Does this address your need?
