Whatever it is

?A. "I doubt you'll get the job. You seem like an interesting guy, but there's no way that she's getting past whatever it is that you did or didn't do to her"


In sentence A, I think the object of whatever is "did" and "didn't do". Am I right?

If I'm right, is "that" used as a relative pronoun connected to "whatever"?

No. Nouns and pronouns (like table, car, something, and whatever) never have objects. Verbs have objects.

Maybe you got it backwards, and you are asking if the object of "did" and "didn't do" is "whatever"? That makes more sense.
