You can do both ways, see requestAction("/comments/add") and
element("/comments/add") in the manual.
The "element" way will probably be a better choice, as you should need
no controller logic (action) to render a simple form in several
places...
AFAIK, the ultimate choice depends more on your controller logic : how
will the result be saved and displayed, will it be ajax or will it be
redirected, will there be validation, ? etc...

You must set the variables for the elements in the element() function :
$this->element("/comments/add",array("variable"=>"test"));
