What is the best way to do something like Url.Action in an attribute on the server side in MVC?
Do I need to write a method that takes a UrlActionDescriptor and returns a string, or is there a better solution?
filterContext.Result = new RedirectResult(Url.Action(NameHelper.CustomName));

Redirection can be done like this:

HttpContext.Current.Response.RedirectToRoute
(
  new 
  { 
    controller = "Home", 
    action = "Index" 
  }
);

It's better to make a helper class and corresponding methods for that.
Routes can be found in System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes .
Current route data:
You can instantiate UrlHelper for the context of the current request as follows:

var urlHelper = new System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper(HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext);
var url = urlHelper.Action("Index", "Home");
