Visualforce Custom lookup visualforce page

It sounds really like you just need to customise the columns on the lookup to make it better suited to your needs. If you go to Setup -> Customize -> Contacts -> Search Layouts, you'll see entries for Lookup Dialogs and Lookup Phone Dialogs, there you can edit the columns displayed in the lookup windows.

If you really need a custom solution:

You can't override the lookup page itself, but you could create a new visualforce page for your account, using <apex:detail> and other similar tags to make your life simpler. Then you could include a search section underneath, where a user can enter various search terms which you put into a dynamic SOQL query and then render the results for them to choose from.

Retrieve salesforce instance URL instead of visualforce instance

Here's something that I used within my Apex Trigger

System.URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().getHost().remove('-api' );

This gives me proper URL
