Teyla and Ronon go to Earth thinking they're going to be coming back. The degree of the fight is unimportant - this is nothing they haven't risked before. It's the fact that "this isn't their fight" that makes Woolsey think they might baulk, not the "dangerous nature of the situation."
So Teyla leaves Torran behind just as she has done every other mission she's gone out on.
But she does leave Torran behind in Pegasus, because to take a Pegasus child into a warzone would be irresponsible. It's like leaving her child in Atlantis when she goes out on a mission: Atlantis is usually a 'safe spot' for Torran - except that in this instance, it's not.
