Here is some rough code. You would need to wrap it in a html macro.

<script type="text/javascript>
AJS.toInit(function(){
    var user = AJS.Meta.get('remote-user');

    AJS.$.ajax({
        type: 'GET', //or POST
        url: 'Your URL', //this should pass back the parameter based on the user submitted to it
        processData: true,
        data: {
            u: user
        },
        dataType: 'json' //xml, json, script, or html
        success:  function(data) {
            var pagenumber = //Your logic to get the parameter here;

            AJS.$('#container to hold the link').append('<a href="https://www.example.com/mypage.aspx?user=' + user + '&pagenumber=' + pagenumber  + '">Link Text</a>');
        },
        error:  function(x, y, z) {
            //Error handling code here.
        }, 
    });
});
</script>

You have a couple options. One would be to write your own plugin. If you don't want to go that far then you would to enable the html macro so that you can embed some Javascript. You can get the user using this Javascript method.

AJS.Meta.get('remote-user');

Confluence has jQuery installed, so you could use AJS.$.Ajax(); to get the parameters from an outside web service. Then you would just assemble the link with those parts.
