I was unable to google what the possibilities of this separate "chrome on mobile" task in the cmd-tab app switcher is. What's it supposed to do?

2You can shrink inlined images using <img src="" width="280"> - you just have to copy/paste the already-uploaded imgur link into it - see my edit.– TetsujinJun 1, 2017 at 19:56

That's Handoff.
When your iOS device and Mac are logged in to the same iCloud account and have Bluetooth enabled, apps which support Handoff are able to pass the app state between devices.
In the screenshot, Google Chrome on iOS is able to pass the URL of the current tab to a new tab on your Mac. This also works vice versa — indicated by the app icon shown in the bottom-left corner of your iOS device or at the bottom tab of the app switcher.
You can set Handoff in Settings → General → Handoff on your iOS device, and System Preferences → General → ‘Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices’ on macOS.
