Re: can phones get viruses like that?
There are malware apps on both Android and iOS, as well as exploitable vulnerabilities in the operating systems (depending on version). It's more prevalent on Android due to it being the dominant phone OS, the store being more open, and because you can side-load apps from any source.
I'm not sure what's the best way to deal with it though, as it's not something I've ever had personal experience with. You could try wiping the browser cache and see if that stops the redirect, because it may just be down to a malicious web page. Failing that, there are anti-malware apps in the Google Play Store that can scan for and remove dodgy apps, much like an anti-virus program for a computer, although I don't know which ones are good as I've not had to use one.
