You can go to the Advanced Properties of the app and there is a setting there to force the desktop mode.
I think that the most reliable way to redirect on save (in desktop mode only) is to specify that in the original link to add the record.
like this
var text ADD = your url here to add a a record ;
var text Redirect = you URL here to redirect to.;
$URL
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($Redirect)
