Report to MBAM?

yep.

Depends on who installed teamviewer. If it's been intentionally
installed by the owner of the system, then it can be ignored. If
not, then the owner does need to be made aware that it has been
installed. In my opinion, it's a potentially un-wanted program.

Sometime a signature meant for one piece of malware is found in something legitimate.

There is a sub-forum at Malwarebytes specifically for submitting possible False Positive declarations.
