That pattern almost always means the sillcock split inside the wall during a freeze and only leaks while the tap is open. The pipe is intact enough to hold pressure but not enough to hold it under flow. Shut the water to that line and stop using the tap until it's replaced.

That knock is water hammer, and on an outdoor line it usually means a long unsecured run of pipe between the shutoff and the wall. Old strapping works loose over the years. A plumber can add support or an arrestor so the pipe stops slamming against the framing.

Most often the replacement is the right type but the wrong length, so the valve seat ends up sitting in the cold section of the wall instead of inside the warm space. Wall thickness varies a lot in older housing. Measuring the assembly against the wall is what settles it.

In most older homes here it's on the wall where the service line enters, usually the basement side facing the street, near the meter. Everyone in the house should know where it is before there's a reason to use it. If the valve is stiff or weeping, that's worth addressing while nothing is urgent.
