Answer 1

Change you controller
public ActionResult Save(string name, string salary)
{
return View("Message");
}
As you have to use variable name which you have defined in input
<input name="name" type="text" />
<input name="salary" type="text" />
If you want to return partial view.
return PartialView("Message", <<OptionalPartialViewModel>>);

You should start by learning about conventions in ASP.NET MVC. You should use models for communicating between controllers and views.
Create a model type first:
public class SalaryModel
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Salary { get; set; }
}
Create your form by using HTML helpers and strongly typing your view:
#model SalaryModel
<div id="mydiv">
#using (Html.BeginForm("Save", "Game", FormMethod.Post, new { #Id = "Form1" }))
{
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Name :</td>
<td>#Html.TextBoxFor(item => item.Name)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Salary :</td>
<td><input name="salary" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">#Html.TextBoxFor(item => item.Salary)</td>
</tr>
</table>
}
</div>
Then you can get the form values inside the model:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(SalaryModel model)
{
return View("Message");
}
There's a great tutorial on ASP.NET MVC website that can help you with the basics.

Answer 3

MVC Bind form inputs to Action by their names. You should change your method params as the same of the form. Also, you are missing the HttpPost attribute:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(string name, string salary)
{
/*Do Stuff here*/
return View("Message");
}
