Q: ¿Qué significa She kept her voice down so that if he didn't want to drag them back to something with the potential to hurt them both that she would be unable to pursue the conversation further.?
A: *Edited my answer to highlight the short answer!

Okay, so a fun thing to do with English sentences is to start deleting stuff or to simplify things (especially long clauses) so that you can sort of see the underlying structure.

She took care to (do something), was mindful to (do something else) so that if he didn't want to (do this thing) that she would be unable to (do this other thing)

pares down to:

She (did stuff), so that (first effect) that (second effect)

okay, so "so that" is the start of the "effect" portion of a "cause-effect" relationship, this structure is often seen like this

①[He works] so that ②[he can make money.]
①[cause] so that ②[effect]

(and if you chain it)
①[He works] so that ②[he can make money] that ③[he can buy stuff with.]
①[cause] so that ②[effect] that ③[effect of ②]

I say all that to say this, the "that" you're talking about is the start of the second effect,

①[She took care to keep the confident tone in her voice, was mindful to keep her voice down] so that ②[if he didn't want to drag them back to something with the potential to hurt them both] that ③[she would be unable to pursue the conversation further.]

****so, if the guy didn't want to do ②, she would not be able to continue the conversation. ****

I think this is what's happening here.

I will say though, the way this is written is a little bit...unnecessarily complex...I totally understand why you didn't get it, I had to read this so many times as well.
BUT, I hope this helps...
