Answer 1

You should call user_logout().

+1 and then drupal_goto() – Duckpin

user_logout() in D6 and D7 finish with their own drupal_goto(). I'm not convinced that your own call after that point would be processed. – Qp

Not clear how this answers 2nd part of Q: how to redirect to a URL after logging out, since in D7 drupal_goto() calls user_logout() anyway. – Adapt

Answer 2

use this any where

 <?php
module_load_include('pages.inc', 'user');
user_logout();
?>

Another option is using the Rules module. You can set a rule up to redirect to a URL after a user logs out and various other rules if needed.
