Whenever I open a link in email it no longer opens in full screen, but opens as a small, narrow window off to the side, that there is no way to close it except to get out of the app and go back in. How do I get my links to open up as full screen again?

You likely have a Safari instance opening in slide-over view.
To eliminate this, first pull down on the grey grab bar at the top of the Safari view - transforming the view into a split-screen view. The split-screen view has a central divider, upon which is another central grab bar; drag this all the way to the edge of the screen.
You should now have restored your expected functionality. I recommend that you review the iPad User Guide for iPadOS to learn about multitasking in iPadOS. Here is a link to both the downloadable and online versions of the User Guide:

Here is short video that you’ll doubtless find informative:
I hope you find this to be helpful in fully resolving your problem.

I did explain the steps to close the slide-over view in my initial reply - and also provided links to further information for you to understand multitasking features of iPadOS that you have seemingly invoked.
What else I can do for you?
To be clear, nothing here is broken. You are seeing expected functionality - but perhaps in circumstances that you’re not familiar with.
Sorry, I missed it in that little screen.
I dragged down the gray title bar, it turned into a safari icon, which I moved to the middle of the screen, but when I let up it went right back to that small screen.
Okay, when you pull down on the grab bar - and the Safari icon appears, drag to the right and release; you now have transformed the slide-over view into split screen view.
Using the grab bar that now appears on the central divider of the split screen, drag the grab bar over the Safari window off the edge of the screen - and release.
So how do I fix this?
Ok, I was able to turn off multitasking using the ipad guide. It is back to normal now 😁 Thanks for your help!
Problem now solved?
Yes! Thank you! It has been driving me nuts!
