Client wants a button on the mobile web app that launches a QR code scan (with camera on iPad) then returns to the mobile web app with the QR code info. Wondering how best to achieve this and/or if it's even possible. Thanks!

Not really possible, sorry.

The closest you can get is some apps have a URL scheme (redlaser://, for example) that you could provide a link to. There's no way of detecting that they've got the app installed, though.
