--explanation--

When someone suggests an idea and follows it with Would that help?, that refers back to the idea they just shared. It's a polite and supportive way to check if the suggestion would be useful for the other person. For example:

I can send over a summary of the meeting. Would that help? – Here, that refers to sending the summary, and the speaker is checking if it would be useful.
