Routing question between wifi / firewall and switch

WiFi Controller has setup a Radius server 10.0.1.120 behind Sonicwall.

Wifi client assigned with VLAN30 need to authenticated through Radius 10.0.1.120.
For WiFi controller routing to network 10.0.1.0, it need to route through Fortigate and then to Sonicwall.

DHCP server on LAN 10.0.1.0 will subnet 10.0.99.0 will start DHCP negoitation with the wifi client,
through the trunk -> PoE Switch -> WiFi Controller -> Wifi client.

After DHCP negotiation, the PoE switch should have the MAC address Wifi client and the correct port (ie the port connecting to the controller) . Am I corect ?

When wifi client access any servers 10.0.1.0 behind Sonicwall, it will go through
  wifi client -> Wifi Controller -> PoE Switch -> Fortigate -> PoE Switch Sonicwall, correct ?

How does server in network 10.0.1.0 return to the Wifi client (10.0.99.0) ? How does Sonicwall know that the client is behind the Controller ?

Thx
