You haven't told us what you're trying to accomplish with all this, but here's a go anyway.

ComplexExpand assumes all the parameters are real, by DEFAULT.

lamda = a + I*b;
z = lamda*p;
toXY = Simplify[ComplexExpand[{Re[#1], Im[#1]}]] & ;
toXY[z]

{a*p, b*p}

{u, v} = toXY@TrigToExp@Sinh@z

{((1/2)*(-1 + E^(2*a*p))*
     Cos[b*p])/E^(a*p),
   ((1/2)*(1 + E^(2*a*p))*
     Sin[b*p])/E^(a*p)}

Not sure why you want u[x,y] and v[x,y], since a, b, and p are the variables.
