You can use {expression} to include an Xpath expression in a string context.

Variables can be defined with xsl:variable.

EXSLT can be used for advanced features. One of them is str:encode-uri(). You define the additional namespace on the xsl:stylesheet element and set it as an extension element prefix.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
  extension-element-prefixes="str">

  <xsl:template name="example">
    <xsl:for-each select="person">
      <xsl:variable name="encodedName" select="str:encode-uri(name)"/>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <a href="updateMember.php?name={$encodedName}" class="btn-secondary">Update Member</a>
          <a href="deleteMember.php?name={$encodedName}" class="btn-danger">Delete Member</a>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you are talking about the name you output earlier with <td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td> then using a href="updateMember.php?name={$name}" should do, although depending on your data you might need to escape the value of name in the URL, easily done in XPath/XSLT 3 with {encode-for-uri($name)}, I don't think XSLT/XPath 1.0 has a function for that, unless you call e.g. into PHP from XSLT.
