i solved the problem by using Task.Run and Task.Wait
and used the
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);

+3If you downloaded the file into a MemoryStream, you can use this code:
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);

throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);
this may solve the second problem
but i still need to fix the first problem which is, i cant make the button async to wait the api call.
