On button click I want to open the default metro browser (usually IE) without opening a new tab/page, just open the browser, If it is already running then just switch to it as it is to it’s current state. Is there a way to do that?

This is just something to try, and may or may not work in your scenario:
If you know the url that is open in the browser, your Windows Store app could launch that same url with the launcher.
In my app, when I launch the same url multiple times, IE will pop up but will not load a second instance of the url.
