Answer 1

You need to put a file in the root directory of the site and name it ".htaccess", the dot at the beginning of the file name is not accidental, this is specifically so that the server does not give such files when accessing them.
The file should contain the following:
Redirect 301 /boom /catalog
Redirect 301 /purum /catalog
Redirect 301 /pumpum /catalog
Redirect 301 /bla /catalog
If there is already such a file in the root of the site, then you need to add the same lines to the end.
If the file already exists and after adding the lines it also does not work, then you can send the file itself, I can tell you what needs to be done with it.
