Key Points
おかわり asks for another serving
おかわり is the standard word for “another helping” of something just served.
The exact item is understood from context, so it does not need to be repeated.
を marks the requested item
おかわりを is an elliptical request for another serving.
In fuller speech this could expand into something like おかわりをお願いします.
Direct restaurant-style call
Calling ウェイター and then saying the item is brisk spoken ordering language.
Akari’s 私も means she wants the same refill too.
