"When a Character unit is destroyed, return it to its owner's hand instead of placing it in its owner's discard pile. (Limit once per turn.)"

Is this EITHER player or just "you"? ie: if my opponent loses a character, can they return it to their hand if Redemption is out?

You can only activate abilities of cards you control. Your opponent does not control Redemption, therefore he cannot use it´s ability.
Although you could technically use the ability on your opponent´s behalf, should you somehow feel so inclined.

You could return a small character to their hand to deny them a card draw. You probably won't use it that way often, but you might.

two questions:

1. How does this work with princess leia's capture mechanic? would she still be captured at an opponents objective or would she return to my hand?

2. How would this work with the sacrafice mechanic? Is sacraficing a unit considered destroying it?

1. The Redemption can try to return her to hand, but then her constant ability will kick in again and send her captured instead. So in the end, no, Redemption can't save Leia
2. Sacrificing is not destroying. The only things that destroy are having enough damage or card effects that say "destroy."
