Can my work access my home device?

Hoping someone can help me! I was recently on microsoft teams for work on a home device (as I have a PowerPoint app on that rather than the work laptop), and it asked me if I wanted to link my personal Microsoft account to my work teams account. I accepted this, so I can now work on the PowerPoint app and my changes are saved live in teams. However, I'm wondering my your workplace can access the history on my personal account? I worry because I've been looking at other jobs out of curiosity. I don't think they can as it's my own device/personal account and it's just connected to teams but I'm beginning to wonder. Can anyone who is better with technology please explain? I've deleted my search history now just in case however am still slightly paranoid. To summarise - it's my own device, personal Microsoft account, own WiFi but connected to my teams account. No sarcasm please as I know it's likely a silly question. Thanks

Should probably add - it's a Microsoft Surface Pro and from what I've read, I don't think (hopefully) they can see personal data. However, would be good for someone to explain to put me at ease.

No, no access to your browser history. All it has done is enable that PowerPoint application to save back into Teams (into SharePoont in the back end).

You can think of it as if the link goes the other way - you can access work but they can’t access you. (But either way, your internet search history and sites visited still wouldn’t be visible).
