In your example when you click on the a tag you can also send that tag to your function:

  <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element" id="{{ element.position }}">
    <a href="javascript:;" (click)="viewhtmlData($event.target)">{{
      element.name
    }}</a>
  </mat-cell>

Then, inside your function you can get the parent of that a tag which is the mat-cell containing it, like so:

  viewhtmlData(aTag: HTMLElement) {
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data', aTag.parentElement);
  }

  <!-- CONSOLE OUTPUT -->
  <mat-cell _ngcontent-c69="" class="mat-cell cdk-column-name mat-column-name" role="gridcell" id="3">
    <a _ngcontent-c69="" href="javascript:;">Lithium</a>
  </mat-cell>

There are two changes you can make from the sample you have provided.

Change : 1 (in .html side) Pass event via the function : viewhtmlData()

  <a href="javascript:;" (click)="viewhtmlData()">{{ element.name }}</a>

 <a href="javascript:;" (click)="viewhtmlData(element)">{{ element.name }}</a>

Change 2:(in .ts side) Pass the element through the function

// This function will show entire table contents
  viewhtmlData() {
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',this.table);
  }

// The element data from  .html is passed through the function
  viewhtmlData($event) {
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',$event);
    this.selectedElement =$event;
    var Row = document.getElementById($event.position)  as HTMLTableCellElement;    
    this.selectedCellHtml = Row;
   
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',this.selectedCellHtml);
    
  }
