Proving, using the definition of a limit that the function is continuous everywhere
where $z,a in C$
$$f(z) = operatornameRe(z) $$
$f:S$ $subset C to C$
So I got to $|operatornameRe(z) - operatornameRe(a)| = 0.5|z - a + bar z - bar a|$
but I don't know how I can use this expression to show that if $|z - a| < delta$ then $|operatornameRe(z) - operatornameRe(a)| < varepsilon$
for any $varepsilon > 0$
calculus continuity epsilon-delta

What you need to do is FIX an arbitrary $epsilon$. Then FIND a $delta$ that will work. Hint: Recall that $|x+iy| = sqrtx^2 + y^2$ and so $min(|x|, |y|) leq |x+iy| leq max(|x|, |y|)$.

Let $z=(x+iy)$ and $w=(a+ib)$
Note that your function is $$ f(x+iy)=x$$and $$ f(a+ib)=a$$
$$ |f(z)-f(w)|=|f(x+iy)-f(a+ib)|=|x-a|le sqrt (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=|z-w|$$
For a given $epsilon >0$ let $delta = epsilon $
If $$|z-w|<delta$$ then $$ |f(z)-f(w)|le |z-w|<delta =epsilon$$
Thus $ f $ is continuous.

It is easy to show that $z_n to z$ implies $overlinez_n to overlinez$. Hence, $z_n to z$ implies $$operatornameRe z_n = z_n + overlinez_n to z + overlinez = operatornameRe z.$$
This shows that $operatornameRe(cdot)$ is continuous.

Forgot about the Triangle Inequality
$|operatornameRe(z) - operatornameRe(a)| = 0.5|z - a + bar z - bar a| leq 0.5(|z - a| + |bar z - bar a|) = 0.5(2|z - a|) = |z-a|$ using triangle inequality
then pick $delta = varepsilon$
Therefore if $|z - a| < delta$
$|operatornameRe(z) - operatornameRe(a)| < delta = varepsilon$
Thanks the guy in the comments
Something to keep in mind is that the real and imaginary parts are both smaller than the absolute value. So, $|Re(z-a)| leq |z-a|$. This is proved in the way that you did it above.

It is easy to show that $z_n to z$ implies $overlinez_n to overlinez$. Hence, $z_n to z$ implies $$operatornameRe z_n = z_n + overlinez_n to z + overlinez = operatornameRe z.$$
This shows that $operatornameRe(cdot)$ is continuous.
