No, the problem seems to be that when you press "l", the last page that
you were visiting is not popped off the history list. I don't know
whether this is a bug or a mis-feature (the Info reader built into Emacs
doesn't behave like that, so I guess it's a bug).

If you want to return to the higher level, use "u" (UP). Otherwise, no
work-around.

The forward direction is not defined well. Do you mean forward along the
history ring? If so, AFAIK, there isn't such a command (and it isn't
supposed to be, since history should be a stack, not a ring). If by
forward you mean to do a depth-first traversal of the node tree, then
SPACE is your key.
