I've never bothered to find out why, but I've run into 
situations where $c->user_exists returns true and $c->user 
returns false. I just check for defined($c->user) instead and 
that solved it for me.

I also agree with other users that auto is a better place to do 
that check.

You need to handle that yourself. Save the current URI in the 
session before redirecting to login page, and then redirect to 
session-saved URI after successful $c->authenticate.

   $c->session->{login_back} = $c->req->uri
       unless ($c->action =~ /^(login|logout|rest\/)/ || 
$c->action eq '/');

And then after authenticate (simplified code, may not work as-is):

   $c->response->redirect( delete $c->session->{login_back} || 
$c->uri_for_action('/index') );
