brake fluid into my front trunk?!? It is located just under the master cylinder and the black hose that comes from the reservoir is leaking brake fluid just as it enters this contraption. Seems to be the fitting or white piece at the end of the black tube that is leaking. What is this thing and what does it do? Can I replace the fitting or do I need a whole new thingy?

That is the ABS/PSM pump and control system for your anti lock brakes and stability management systems. Replacing the leaking lines may not be your biggest issue, changing them out will introduce air into the controls system which then requires either a PIWIS or Durametric system to correctly bleed.
