How can I force (or redirect to login) authentication before submitting the form to google checkout?

decorating your action method with the [Authorize] attribute should do it

[Authorize]
public ActionResult Cart()
{
    ...
}    

[Authorize]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Cart(CartModel model)
{
    ...
}

by default the user will get kicked out to your Log In page if you've defined one

Something like this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CheckOut(Cart cart)
{
    if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
    {
        //go checkout
    }
    else
    {
        //redirect
    }
}
