how can I get a pagination link URL instead of a made-up anchor link?

If you check out the source, they’re both wrappers around *_posts()
, which in turn are wrappers for get_*_posts_page_link()
(where the wildcard indicates either next
or previous
).
For example, next_posts()
will echo or return the escaped URL, depending on the first argument:
$escaped_url = next_posts( false /* Don't echo */ );
next_posts(); // Prints escaped URL
Otherwise you can get the raw URL with get_next_posts_page_link()
and do with it as you wish:
$raw_url = get_next_posts_page_link();
wp_redirect( $raw_url );
// or...
echo esc_url( $raw_url );
