if you bring something from a planet to earth that has a high pressure will it expode

It would crush much like things do when it sinks into the ocean.
High pressure to low pressure causes an explosion of sorts.

It will experience a pressure change when it leaves its native atmosphere, and when it travels through space. If the pressure is kept consistent from it's point of origin all the way to earth, and then exposed to our air pressure it may experience some sort of change. It may change state, ie. from a liquid to a gas, or solid to liquid. An explosion is unlikely, unless it is already volatile. However you must also remember that phase change occurs with differences in temperature as well as pressure.

I really don't understand what you are asking.
Assuming that the object CAN expand and burst (such as a balloon), then:
High to low would cause expansion.
Low to high would cause shrinkage.

if that planet has a lower atmospheric pressure than the earth's it will shrink, if it has a higher pressure it will expand.

The rocks that they brought back from the moon.

Depends on what it is. Balloon - maybe. Rock - not a chance.
