It's basically a connector that goes between the steel brake line and the brake hose. I don't have a parts book handy, so I can't tell you the official name. They don't usually go bad, but if you're in the rust belt, aluminum corrosion is pretty common.
The rounded-head fasteners are Torx screws. They take a star bit like the one that should be in the toolkit that originally came in the car. You'll need to clean the grit, etc out of the hole in the center of the head. If you don't have the Torx drivers that came with the car, you can get a set at just about any chain auto parts place. You can also use the handyman's other friend (vice grips) to grab onto the head and turn the screw. (Do this after you've loosened the hose and brake line, of course.)
