The valve is not seating fully, which is common on gate valves that have sat untouched for decades. Water at the fixture with the main closed makes any repair downstream harder and messier. Replacing the valve is usually quicker and cheaper than working around it every time.

Then the valve and the pipe are one problem, not two, because working a valve on brittle service pipe can start a leak in the pipe itself. Pennsylvania has plenty of housing old enough for that to be a live question. A plumber will look at the pipe material first and plan the repair around it.

It depends on the policy, the cause and how the damage happened, so the honest answer is that only your insurer can tell you. Sudden failures and slow long-running leaks are often treated very differently. Contact your insurance provider before assuming either way, and keep the plumber's paperwork and any photos.

The one on the house side of the meter is the normal choice for indoor work, while the street side belongs with the service line. On older installations the labels are long gone and both may be stiff. A plumber can confirm which is which and check that both still seat.
