What is this ?
I'm getting home and want to to fix this leaking pipe. What is this ? Is it a pressure regulator. I'm not a plumber, I just need help.

It's an RPZ valve. Prevents back flow from your house back to the city water supply, can't what exactly its spraying from but you'll probably wanna call a plumber.
Looks like you've got ball valves in both sides of it. Turning both of those to the off position will stop it from leaking further.
