Redirect logged in users if they are on a specific page

One problem is that you’re hooking in too early. Reference the Hooks API Action Reference. Template conditionals such as is_page() are only available after the query has been set up and parsed. The earliest action that you can usually safely rely on query conditionals is pre_get_posts. You’re hooking into init, which fires much earlier:

  • muplugins_loaded After must-use plugins are loaded
  • registered_taxonomy For category, post_tag, etc.
  • registered_post_type For post, page, etc.
  • plugins_loaded After active plugins and pluggable functions are loaded
  • sanitize_comment_cookies
  • setup_theme
  • load_textdomain For the default domain
  • after_setup_theme Generally used to initialize theme settings/options.
  • auth_cookie_malformed
  • auth_cookie_valid
  • set_current_user
  • init Typically used by plugins to initialize. The current user is already authenticated by this time.
  • widgets_init Used to register sidebars. This is fired at ‘init’, with a priority of 1.
  • register_sidebar For each sidebar and footer area
  • wp_register_sidebar_widget For each widget
  • wp_default_scripts (ref array)
  • wp_default_styles (ref array)
  • admin_bar_init
  • add_admin_bar_menus
  • wp_loaded After WordPress is fully loaded
  • parse_request Allows manipulation of HTTP request handling (ref array)
  • send_headers Allows customization of HTTP headers (ref array)
  • parse_query (ref array)
  • pre_get_posts Exposes the query-variables object before a query is executed. (ref array)
  • posts_selection
  • wp After WP object is set up (ref array)
  • template_redirect
  • get_header
  • wp_enqueue_scripts

Given the nature of what you’re trying to do, I would recommend hooking into template_redirect.
