    I spoke too soon.  I'm not aware of any pre-built connector, but did find this article on connecting to AD using a custom connector.  Be aware that using a custom connector will require a premium license for anyone running the app.  Here's the article.

    There's no connector that I'm aware of which will let you connect to your on-premises AD.

    You can connect to Office 365 Azure AD and retrieve information about the user.  The one thing I don't think you will get that way is the computer assigned to the user.  That isn't something that is normally stored in AAD.
