Pronouns "whom" and "that" interchangeable in this context?

Hi. Please tell me if we could use the pronouns (are they? possibly object pronouns?) "whom" and "that" to mean the same?

He has just talked to her uncle whom/that he has lent a small amount of money to.

Also, is it common to have two present perfect tenses in one sentence?

Both relative pronouns are correct in your sentence because the preposition (to) is at the end. These pronouns are right in such restrictive/defining relative clauses: This is the man I came with . This is the man that I came with.

Hi,
Here in your sentence, both are OK, and depending on the situations, we can use two Pr.Perf. clauses in a sentence.
Hope this helps.

You also asked if the pronouns are objects. From the sentence, we understand that he has lent some money to her uncle, so 'he
