The /part command exists and should do what you want. As for re-joining a
room, the /join command might work (assuming you are able to submit the
command in a room you have parted, which I'm unsure you can at the
moment).

Adding items to the tab click menu for this isn't exactly the right place
for this, putting these items in the Conversation menu might be acceptable
but would need to be done per-protocol since not all protocols would be
able to support re-joining a parted room (alternatively the item could
just be disabled when not supported).

But I'm not sure what benefit this option presents in pidgin, so can you
explain what you want it for?
