As per my understanding there is adverb in above sentence, but my English teacher is saying Please is the adverb in this sentence. If Please is the actual adverb in the sentence then what there will be?

Yes, please is an "adverb" in such contexts, according to the full OED. But so is there (which they specifically say is a demonstrative adverb).

It is a performative utterance, in fact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performative_utterance

This question has been asked here. The short answer is "it's complicated." But you should understand that there is no limit to the numbers of adverbs used to modify a verb. Thus, the idea that something is "the adverb" in a sentence does not make sense. Both "please" and "there" can be adverbs, and additional adverbs like "quickly" or "quietly" could be added as well.
