Yes you can, If you know the URL scheme of that app.

For eg. URL scheme of whatsapp is whatsapp:// so you can open whatsapp from safari by typing whatsapp:// in your browser.

You can also set URL scheme to your app so that any one can open your app from browser by entering URL.

Check this great tutorial If you want to create a custom URL scheme for your app.

Yes, but only if you know the apps URL scheme.

Like for example, Facebook App registers the app URL fb:// so if you create a herf you can open the Facebook app:

<a href="fb://">Launch Facebook app</a>
