Usage of the word "therein"

Two tiny questions:
1. Is this one of the "conjunctives" ? Like "so", "because"? If not, then what's the most correct term?

2.Can the word be used in conjunction with "and', such as "This system has grown old, and therein caused a confine to the overall performance"?

Thanks in advance!:)
