Justinian I did not try to reunite the eastern halves of the Roman Empire. He wanted to 'restore' the Roman Empire by reconquering the lands lost by the western part of the Roman Empire when it fell as a result of the Germanic invasions. He succeed in taking Tunisia and eastern Algeria, Italy and southern Sapin. Howeever, these territories were lost again.
Justinian's army defeated the Vandals in Africa (Vandalic War, 533-534) retaking the area of the Vandalic kingdom (northern Tunisia and eastern Algeria). Then it had to fight a rebellion by the local Berbers until 548 to take southern Tunisia and western Libya. Justinian wanted to restore Africa as it had been under the Romans. The religion of the Vandals, Arian Christianity, was persecuted. Many Vandals fled Africa and some went west, to Algeria, and integrated with the local Berbers. The remaining Vandals were shipped to the east and enlisted in the imperial army. The Vandal ethnic group disappeared. This area bought great revenues for Justinian.It was conquered by the Arabs between the 670s and the 690s.
Justinian's army fought the Ostrogoths in Italy in the Gothic War (535-54) which was eventually won. However, this was a very costly victory. Nineteen years of fierce fighting left some areas of northern Italy devastated and depopulated. The war depleted the resources of the empire. This and the impoverishment of Italy made it impossible for the Byzantines to oppose the invasion of northern Italy by the Lombards fifteen year later (569-72). The Lombards also took over areas of central and southern Italy. The remaining Byzantine possessions in Italy were in part of central Italy and in Apulia, Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica.
Justinian managed to retake most of southern Spain from the Visigoths on 559. The Visigoths retook this area sixty-five years later (n 624).

Constantine never had a thing to do with the "eastern" empire or the "western" empire. He moved the capital of the Roman empire to the eastern city of Constantinople. The connotation of eastern and western was not made by the ancients, but is a term invented by historians to clarify the part of the empire they would be writing about. The ancients considered the empire one, and they all considered themselves Roman.

Will Orthodoxy go back to the Catholic Church?
At this point in history, it is extremely unlikely that the Catholic Church will reunite with the Eastern Orthodox faith for a number of reasons:Filioque: "and the Son" an addition by Western Christianity to the Nicene Creed in 589 without agreement with Eastern ChristianityPapal Supremacy: Eastern Christianity did not acknowledge the Pope as the supreme and infallable leader of the ChurchLanguage: Latin was primarily spoken by Western Christianity, but Greek was spoken by Eastern ChristianitySchism of 1054: Western Christianity and Eastern Christianity mutually exocummunicated each other, primarily for the above reasons, thus forming the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Faith.Since the split of the two churches in 1054, the Roman Catholic mass has evolved due to external influences, but Orthodoxy has remained unchanged. The difference in liturgical layouts is the primary reason why Catholicism and Orthodoxy cannot reunite in modern times.
