In Safari (and in iCabMobile and Atomic web browser), there is an option to e-mail the URL directly from within the web browser. In Safari, you touch the arrow button in the top LH corner and select "Mail link to this page." The default mail client will open. Enter the address you wish (if the person is already in your contacts, you'll just have to enter a letter or two). Hit send and it's gone. The mail client disappears and you are back to browsing.

That should take care of most of the steps you've listed above (although, you didn't have to paste the URL to notes in your steps ... you could have pasted it directly into the mail app).

Can't help you with opening your e-mail steps (I use gmail, which is easily accessible online...).

To send to the iPad, you could e-mail the link, use various cloud services, other apps mentioned before or whatever to get that link to your iPad...

Good luck.
