It depends on the kind of valve you have. If it is a quarter turn valve, you can get a new cartridge, Take it off and bring it with you to a plumbing or home improvement store, each manufacture is different. If it is a screw valve. You probably just need a new washer and valve seat. Again you need to take the valve out, and the valve seat with a valve seat wrench, get a new washer and valve seat.
Yes you need to turn the water off to the house.

It depends on the type of faucet. But you would need to turn off the water at the main where it enters your house. Then you need to remove the handle wither with a screwdriver or Allen wrench. Now unscrew the escutcheon fitting and you should see the stem. Open the faucet wide open and unscrew the nut at the base of the stem. You should be able to remove the stem and the washer. Replace the washer and start reassembling the fixture.
