I don't think she believed, when she chose to go with Atlantis to earth, that earth would keep Atlantis there.
It goes against everything she's fighting for.
Which is why I don't get these "post S5" stories that feature Teyla (and Ronon) stuck on Earth. They'd go back. If nobody else went, they'd still go back and keep fighting. It's not just what they do, it's at the core of their identities.
Although, I also have trouble believing that there'd be any way to keep John from going back to Pegasus short of imprisoning him.
