In all your examples "and" is a conjunction, it's just joining different
kinds of things together. And in English can be used to join together
clauses, NPs, PPs and various other things, as long as it's joining
together two things with the same basic function (you can't conjoin a
clause and a PP for instance). In other languages, there may be
different words all translated as "and" which are more specific in what
they can join together.
