About the word "that".
Hi,
My textbook has the following sentence:
Return to your work, and that immediately.
I am wondering what part of the speech "that" is.
e.g. pronoun, conjunction and a like.
Could you please tell me?
Thanks in advance.

Andy: Bring me another beer, honey.
Amy: That I will, darling.

Just to be clear, the "that" in your textbook is never (not rarely) used today, but "that I will" is everyday English.
