91 dodge Dakota. I can't open car door from the outside and my handle is stuck open. I can open from the inside just fine and it latches.

The handle linkage might have come loose or or the handle itself has broken. You will need to remove the door card on the inside of the door to gain access to the mount bolts and linkages.
A common weak point on some doors is the plastic clips holding the linkages. You could remove the door cards on both doors so you can compare to see where the problem is.

The left back door won't open from the outside, it will only open from the inside.

Sounds like the door linkage from the outside handle to the door catch is disconnected / broken. Recommend take off door interior trim and have a look at the little metal linkages. Haynes manual for your vehicle should show how.

Back door will not open from the inside

The linkage has most likely come loose from the back side of the inside handle or the handle where the linkage attaches has broken. You must pull out the interior door handle to know for sure. Might be as simple as putting the metal rod (linkage) back into the handle and securing it.
