You can use jquery for that i.e: whenever a tag is clicked get value of href and assign that to action attribute of form under modal.
Demo code :
//onclick of a tag
$("a").click(function(){
//get href value
var hrefs = $(this).attr("href");
console.log(hrefs)
//add to modal form
$("#modal_form").attr('action',hrefs);
})

<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Delete Confirmation </h4>

<!--added id to form-->
