Answer 1

you can call your MVC action in two ways

First way

• Create MVC widget. They have good article how to do that: http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-create-mvc-based-sitefinity-widgets
• Create action "GetCantones" inside your MVC widget controller
• Drop this widget to page and then call http://yourhost/pathtoyourpage/GetCantones

Example of MVC widget:

[ControllerToolboxItem(Name = "CombosWidget", Title = "CombosWidget", SectionName = "MVC Custom Widgets")]
public class CombosController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult GetCantones(int idprovincia)
    {
        //your logic is here
    }
}

Second way

Creating custom URL route to the action of your controller

Example how to do that for your case. Global.asax.cs code:

    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {            
        Bootstrapper.Initialized += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs>(Bootstrapper_Initialized);
    }

    protected void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped")
        {
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
    }

    private void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.Ignore("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "CantonesApi",
            url: "api/getcantones",
            defaults: new { controller = "CombosController", action="GetCantones" }
        );
    }

And after that, you can call http://yourhost/api/getcantones.
