Why not just use the one page, and have some kind of MVC that
determines which content to show? (hide one panel, and display
another, and put all your other text and controls inside the panels)

You can hold the variables anywhere you want - eg in viewstate if you
choose to use encrypted viewstate. Otherwise session variables, DB etc
are other options.
