You cannot control whether this opens a new window or tab, as that is decided by the browser preferences.  With default browser settings window.open will more often than not open a new page, and setting up a link like the following:

<a href="https://c.cs8.visual.force.com/apex/Mobiles?id={!Campaign.Id}" target="_blank">Click here</a>

will more often than not open a new tab.  However, this is not guaranteed, and each user can change their browser settings.

Is it possible to enforce loading the visualforce page within your existing tab? Currently running into the issue that opening a visualforce page on a Chrome Browser leads to an error (a new tab requesting sign in). Opening the same visualforce page from Edge, the page is opened in the same tab - no issues.
