I have an action I call from an anchor thusly, Site/Controller/Action/ID where ID is an int.

Later on I need to redirect to this same Action from a Controller.

Is there a clever way to do this? Currently I'm stashing ID in tempdata, but when you hit f5 to refresh the page again after going back, the tempdata is gone and the page crashes.

You can pass the id as part of the routeValues parameter of the RedirectToAction() method.

return RedirectToAction("Action", new { id = 99 });

This will cause a redirect to Site/Controller/Action/99. No need for temp or any kind of view data.
