Given a sequence $\{a_n\}$ whose sum of the first $n$ terms is $S_n$, if $4S_n = (2n-1)a_{n+1} + 1$, and $a_1 = 1$.

(1) Find the general formula for the sequence $\{a_n\}$;  
(2) If the sequence $\{b_n\}$ satisfies $\frac{b_n}{a_n} = (\sqrt{2})^{1+a_n}$, find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{b_n\}$, denoted as $T_n$.
