Is there a way, using HTML code that a website would detect a user using IE10 in UI/Metro mode and either offer a button to or force open IE10 in desktop mode?

You can add a meta element to the head of your page to tell IE to add a dialog bar, prompting the user to switch to the desktop version of IE10:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="requiresActiveX=true" />
You can also configure your web server to do the same using a HTTP header:
X-UA-Compatible: requiresActiveX=true
