You need 'would' because you are hypothesising. If ____, I would ____. Omitting 'would' would be ungrammatical.



'That' and any clause after it is modifying "what". You will need 'that' there, otherwise it would be ungrammatical.

In Japanese, "that" is not needed, just say the clause followed by the noun you are trying to modify.

魚を食べている猫
The cat that is eating a fish.

"that" here is modifying the cat while in japanese, since the clause, eating a fish comes before the word cat, it is understood that eating a fish is modifying the cat.
