When I open MS to Do app and open whether it is an email flagged or a task from my planner in teams when I try to open it, it opens in the web-based instead of the desktop. Am I missing a connector to my desktop or something?

At this time, it will only open in the on the web version of Outlook. This is because the To-Do app links to the web version of Tasks and uses deep links to link to the associated Outlook item.
You can leave a suggestion that it open in Outlook desktop -
