First thing probbly would be just to getting things properly organised and make the systems work at as faster than glacial pace.
I mean right now they are barely fuctinwl at times, if you want to do anything you need to get things running better and more organised before you can mount any large scale changes, or campaigns.

Bitchslap Abaddon and snap Drach'nyech over his knee probably once he knocks some heads together to make things efficient for once.
Then find whoever has the burning blade and politely ask for it back.

Probably smack some high lords, cut the red tape, and go smack some traitors quickly so they can deal with the nid problem.
Maybe continue to muck about with ancient science or something.

If he wanted to restore it in his original image he would have to fight the innumerable billions of souls devoted to the 'God Emperor'.
The Eclisiarchy would have to be destroyed - along with the SoB.
A lot of lives would be lost before Big E even thought about getting the remnants of his sons legions back together and very firmly dissuading association with the Tau and bro fisting necrons.

So many problems so little time. Probably organise everything and then proceed directly to Cadia where Chaos will be so scared they never leave again. That or beat the Ecclesiarchy for worshipping him.

Or he could have a whole chapter of Space Marines armed with just Burning Blades. That would be a sight to see, or not, as the brightness of the blades would have it.

It could be anything really....if I was the Emperor though, I'd rally the Custodes and Astartes. Even if you're a god, after 10,000 years in a coma, the people in power won't just give it up because you're their god. We know the Imperium is as corrupt as the USA, or Russia, or China. Probably more so than all of them put together. You're going to need to stake your claim to legitimacy for the throne. You have your divine mandate already, so next you would need an army. An army ensures your claim and provides you security should the ones with power decide it's in their interest that you be harmed. But more important than restoring your status at the top, the current situation of the Imperium calls for relief of the pressure on the borders of the empire of man. Its currently stuck between a rock and a hard place. By coming back, a being as the Emperor of Man will shake the status quo, and the choices made by him will either shake the fragile foundations of the Imperium, or bring the sleeping giant out from under the rock.

He's probably smart enough to realize that the Ecclesiarchy is a problem for later rather than now when the Orks are getting more unified, a Black Crusade is underway, new Tau level empires are constantly rising and snapping up Imperial territory as they expand, and the Necrons and Tyranids are about ready to kill everything and everyone.

I know he is the Emperor and all. But I imagine that if he tried to reform the Imperium in any meaningful way there would be resistance. I wonder if his return would spark a civil war?

Not necessarily. The Ecclesiarchy would need to be reformed, to preach a renewed Imperial Truth perhaps. The SoB would not need to be destroyed - as the example of Alicia Dominica in the Age of Apostasy shows their first loyalty is to the Emperor, not to the Ecclesiarch. They would be as loyal to the reborn Emperor as any Astartes.
There would be no civil war. The Emperor would obtain the absolute unshakeable loyality of the entire armed forces of the Imperium - from the Custodes to the most humble guardsman - with a word, and with that power at his command any internal opposition would be silenced very quickly indeed.
The big question is whether or not his power would still be required to keep the Webway shut. The destruction of the wards more or less entirely took the Emperor out of the Heresy until the last day, and if he still needed to focus on that then his influence would be limited. If he didn't then I agree with those who are saying that he'd first chase Abaddon and co. back into the Eye of Terror, then turn his attention to the other threats - primarily the Tyranids.

Probably just watch all that he strive to build and all that he old dear crash and burn has the legions of Chaos and countless xenos destroy his empire bit by bit.
PS: I never read the new Sister of Battle fluff, but in the old one, it was clearly stated that the Emperor clearly approved them and their practices and in several case (most famously the original six commanding Sister of Battle) gave them supernatural powers of immense magnitude. Hell, he made them what they are. I think he has no problem with the Ecclesiarchy anymore.

Agreed. A good example was in the old Guard codex, iirc regiment fought heroically but were wiped out. But even though they were killed, they were moved to another war zone, and when they didn't show up (cause they were dead) they were marked as traitors and sentenced to death. It's stuff like this that would be quickly fixed by the big guy.

bitch-slap every inquisitor except the ones that are actually good people (0.000001 % of them).
announce the salamanders the best chapter.
walk up the grey knights and shake every one of them. then he would lead the ultramarines, grey knights, and all of the rest (except for slamanders, imperial fists, and a few others)
punch Abaddon THROUGH his face.
and then go visit Macha. privately. for about a month.

I'd think that the first priority would be getting the Imperium out of the decline its in, which means dealing with various threats and likely small reforms to increase efficiency.

I see this one often in this scenario. While it's certainly a possibility that he would want the Ecclesiarchy removed in the long-term, I'm going to agree with others and say that I don't think that he'd do it right away. The Imperium is in a bad spot just now, and starting such a great internal upheaval would do more harm than good. Better to use them against the threats first, and then work on changing things once the Imperium is more secure.

Tau make a good alliance, yes there growing but good tech, proven in combat vs orks, and have similar combat docraines to space marines at times.
Eldar. Yes good alliance, but would even the emperor be considered evolved or just a extra powerful monkey. There have a supiority complex, would they even Allie to such a "backward" speices.
