I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) running macos monterery 12.1 and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and the apple thunderbolt cable and usbc adapter I bought does not command F2 into TDM. What am I doing wrong???

macOS Monterey is not compatible with Target Display Mode, so it won't work.

No. You can't do that.
FWIW, KiltedTim is correct, however, if you run macOS Monterey on both you can AirPlay one to the other. That may be sufficient for your needs.
